After Von Miller helped the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl last season, the Buffalo Bills hoped the star linebacker could do the same for them in 2022. Unfortunately for the Bills, that won’t be the case, as Miller was ruled out for the rest of the campaign due after undergoing an ACL surgery.

Miller went down with a knee injury during Thanksgiving’s game vs. the Detroit Lions. It was initially believed that the 33-year-old plater would have a swift return on the field, but the injury turned out to be much worse than expected.

“Unfortunate situation, for Von, obviously, and our team. Care for him, obviously, like we would any player,” said Bills’ head coach Sean McDermott told reporters on Wednesday.

“If everything goes well during the rehab process, we think we’ll have Von Miller back for most of 2023,” Buffalo’s general manager Brandon Beane added.

This will be a tough blow for the Bills and their Super Bowl aspirations. Before going down with the injury, Miller started every game in 2022 and was arguably the team’s best defensive player. He tallied 8.0 sacks while adding 21 tackles, 12 QB hits, and one forced fumble.

The Bills now hope their young players will step up and fill the void left by Miller’s injury. The obvious candidates are the 2021 first-round pick Greg Rousseau and second-year defensive end Carlos Basham.

Buffalo is currently first in AFC East with a 9-3 record. Their next game will come against the division rivals New York Jets this upcoming Sunday.

Seeing their star linebacker Von Miller leave the Week 7 game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday with an ankle injury brought up some bad memories for the Denver Broncos. Miller injured the same ankle at the start of the 2020 NFL season and missed the remainder of the season.

This time around, however, it appears that Miller managed to avoid spending any time on the sidelines. Speaking with reporters on Friday, the 32-year-old player revealed that the injury isn’t severe, and he believes he’ll be ready to play in Week 8.

“Right when it happened, right when it happened, I felt it, said a quick prayer,” Miller said via ESPN. “I didn’t want to put any pressure on it at first. They tested it in all directions, it was good. I asked them if I could run, they said no. But I feel like I dodged a bullet.”

Von Miller got hurt just before halftime and did not return to the game. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the decision was made out of precaution. The later tests showed there was no structural damage to the ankle, which is usually a good indicator that a player won’t miss much time.

Miller has been productive for Denver this season, totaling 4.5 sacks in the first six weeks. He also has 18 tackles and eight QB hits.
