Von Miller, who last suited up for the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving of the previous year due to a severe ACL injury, looks set for a potential return. As the Bills get ready for their Week 5 clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there’s heightened anticipation surrounding Miller’s comeback.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Miller is journeying with the team to London, England, where the Bills and Jaguars are slated to face off. The star linebacker had a promising week, returning to practice without any complications.
While Miller’s return to the playing field hasn’t been confirmed, the signs are promising. The Bills are keen on ensuring he’s fully fit for the playoffs, but given that he’s traveling to London and had a good week of practice, it seems likely he’ll make an appearance in Week 5.
Should he be given the green light, Miller’s presence would significantly boost the Bills’ prospects, not just against the Jaguars, but for the rest of the season. Buffalo inked a deal with Miller in 2022, offering a six-year contract worth $120 million. Before his injury, he showcased his worth, registering eight sacks in 11 games.
In his illustrious NFL journey, Miller boasts 561 tackles, 245 hits on quarterbacks, and 123.5 sacks over 161 matches. His accolades include eight Pro Bowl appearances, three All-Pro selections, two Super Bowl titles, and a Super Bowl MVP award.
The Bills are heading to London eyeing a victory against the Jaguars and aiming for a 4-1 season record. And when they step onto the field, there’s a real possibility that Von Miller will reinforce their defense.
