THE Houston Texans will face the Buffalo Bills this Sunday at NRG Stadium, even though one of the best defensive ends won’t come from Orchard Park.
Star pass rusher Von Miller has been suspended four games without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Tuesday.
Miller, who joined the Bills in 2022 after spending more than a decade with the Denver Broncos, will be eligible to return following the team’s Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks. THE the suspension arrives allegations that Miller assaulted his pregnant girlfriend during the Bills’ bye week in suburban Dallas last November.
Since then, Miller has denied the allegations, stating that they are “100% false.” Earlier this offseason, he said the case was closed, but that the NFL had conducted a separate investigation.
Miller, who played more of a rotational role this season, recorded five tackles and three sacks in the first four games of the 2023 season. He signed a six-year contract worth $120 million in 2022.
The 35-year-old recently passed Hall of Famer Dwight Freeney. He is tied with Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas for 25th all-time in career sacks with 125.5.
To start up is programmed for noon CT.
