NFL star Von Miller has been handed a four-game suspension by the league for violating the personal-conduct policy. The suspension is reportedly related to an alleged domestic violence incident involving his pregnant girlfriend, although no charges were filed. This is not Miller’s first suspension, as he previously served a six-game suspension in 2013 for a violation of the substance abuse policy.
Despite this setback, Miller had been performing well on the field with the Buffalo Bills, notching sacks in each of the team’s first three games. This comes after a challenging 2023 season where he struggled with a torn ACL. Miller’s career has been marked by both on-field success and off-field issues, but he remains a key player in the league.
The NFL has the authority to suspend players even without a conviction, as per the collective-bargaining agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association. Miller’s suspension will keep him out of action for the month of October, adding another chapter to his turbulent career. Despite this setback, Miller will have the opportunity to return to the field and make a positive impact for his team once his suspension is completed.
