Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller hasn't had a ton of time on the field this offseason or during training camp, but is still confident that it won't take long for everything to click into place. Miller missed most offseason practice after having shoulder surgery and has missed the last couple weeks of training camp because of an ankle injury the team has been extra cautious with.
Miller isn't too concerned about the time away because he has still been in the team meetings and he thinks those are just as important. He has liked the team chemistry the offense has shown so far and is expecting big things for that side of the ball.
“I know everything’s going to click because we work so hard just to make things right and go over things during meetings, so it’s not just on the field,” Miller said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “Our chemistry, I think, is going to be on-point this year.”
Miller returned to practice on Monday and that is a good thing for the offense because he is expected to be a big part of it. Last season, he caught 33 passes for 423 yards and seven touchdowns. The Bears' coaching staff have high expectations that he will get caught up quickly with the Bears offense.
‘‘We’re not worried about his confidence; he’s had that since he got here,’’ receivers coach Mike Furrey said. ‘‘The biggest thing I’ve noticed is he’s slowed stuff down. He’s heard plays before. He’s not a jackrabbit, running all over the place. He’s becoming more consistent, which is what we challenged him to do.’’
Miller has the next couple of weeks to get up to full speed to be ready for the Bears' first game against the Green Bay Packers.
