The Bills will be without their suspended pass rusher Von Miller and also will not have leading receiver Khalil Shakir, defensive tackle Austin Johnson, and safety Taylor Rapp for their game against the Texans on Sunday.

The Bills (3-1) announced on Friday that Shakir, Johnson, and Rapp would all be sidelined, joining Miller, who is serving a four-game suspension for breaking the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The NFL did not provide details about Miller’s suspension, which was announced on Tuesday.

Shakir is out due to an ankle injury and has made 18 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns this season. Johnson will miss the game with an oblique injury, while Rapp is sidelined with a concussion.

On a positive note, starting linebacker Terrel Bernard and starting nickel cornerback Taron Johnson may return, as both are listed as questionable. Bernard has been dealing with a pectoral injury since Week 2, and Johnson broke his right forearm in the team’s first game last month.
