According to Ian Rapoport, the Bills plan for DE Von Miller to start the season on the PUP list which means he will miss at least the first four games.
This doesn’t come as a big surprise, as Miller is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the second half of last season.
The big priority for the Bills is having Miller healthy and effective for the stretch run, including the playoffs, so expect them to continue to be patient with his recovery.
Miller, 34, is a former first-round pick of the Broncos back in 2011. After playing out his rookie deal, Denver picked up his fifth-year option and later used their franchise tag on Miller.
The Broncos signed Miller to a six-year, $114 million extension in 2016 with $70 million guaranteed. He made $18 million in 2020 with $6 million fully guaranteed and count $25.625 million against the cap.
Denver officially picked up Miller’s option last year and again in 2021 at a figure of $18 million. However, the Broncos traded Miller to the Rams at the deadline for second and third-round picks while also eating most of his remaining salary. Miller then ended up winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the Rams.
Miller went on to sign a six-year, $120 million deal with the Buffalo Bills as an unrestricted free agent.
In 2022, Miller appeared in 11 games for the Bills, recording 21 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, eight sacks, a forced fumble and two pass deflections.
We’ll have more on Miller as the news is available.
