4. Anthony Miller may never reach his potential

The 2019 season was a roller coaster for Miller, who barely registered in the box score for the first half of the year, but he exploded in the second half, putting together a string of impressive performances and solidifying his role as a go-to target for Trubisky. But a left-shoulder injury on Sunday now requires surgery, according to Pace, and the talented sophomore receiver will be spending another offseason rehabbing.

Miller should be ready to return by training camp, but another shoulder injury is a major blow for him and now raises concerns he may never reach the potential he had coming out of Memphis in 2018 due to his injury concerns. Can he stay healthy while taking hits on the field? Pace also confirmed linebacker Roquan Smith (pectoral) and tight end Trey Burton (hip) had surgery and should be ready for camp as well.
