Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller has been suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. The reason for the suspension was not disclosed, but it comes as the Bills gear up to play the Houston Texans. Miller, who is the NFL’s active leader in sacks, will be eligible to return for the game against Miami on November 3. Last November, Miller was accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, though no charges were filed and Miller stated in July that he considered the case closed.
The incident involving Miller and his girlfriend was first reported in November, with an affidavit alleging that he had “applied pressure” to her neck. Despite the allegations, no legal action was taken against Miller, and he continued his football career. The recent suspension by the NFL is a reminder that players are held to a high standard of personal conduct both on and off the field.
This development adds a layer of uncertainty to the Bills’ season as they navigate the absence of their star edge rusher. Miller’s impact on the team’s defense will be missed, and his return in November will be eagerly awaited by fans and teammates alike. As the Bills continue their season, they will have to adjust their game plan to compensate for Miller’s absence and maintain their competitiveness in the league.
