Chaparral (Az.) quarterback Jack Miller, a 2020 Ohio State commit, will be sidelined for at least three weeks after suffering a knee injury in last Friday's 42-24 loss to Mountain Pointe (Phoenix, Az.).
According to azcentral.com, Miller "suffered a high-grade, medial collateral knee sprain early in the Friday loss." The Firebirds are hoping to have Miller back by the start of Arizona's 6A playoffs, which begin on Nov. 2.
After the injury, Miller continued to play and threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns but was "hobbling" the rest of the game.
