Concussion-prone QB waiting to decide
 
Associated Press

  JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Concussion-prone Broncos quarterback Chris Miller said Monday that he will wait until the end of the season to determine his long-term future in football.

Miller made the trip to Jacksonville with the Broncos after spending time in Oregon last week with his family. Denver coach Mike Shanahan said Miller will not play the rest of the year and recommended the 34-year-old quarterback retire.

"I'll wait until after the season to decide anything further beyond this," Miller said.

Miller, who played nine seasons with the Falcons and Rams and went to the Pro Bowl in 1991, retired after the 1995 season following a series of concussions. After a three-year layoff, he was given medical clearance to play again, and signed with the Broncos last spring.

He started three games this season, posting a 2-1 record, but was hurt again against Oakland on Nov. 22.

Miller missed last week's game against Kansas City after tests showed his short- and long-term memory and reaction times fell below his performance on the same tests in April.

He said he will stay with the Broncos for the rest of the season.

"I will be a part of the team and I will contribute in any way they ask me," Miller said. "I'll give as much moral support to the team as I can."
