Update:
NFL Week 13 – Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday that Von Miller is out for the season, according to a report from NFL.com. Miller underwent successful ACL surgery. It was originally believed that Miller only had a lateral meniscus tear and that, despite being placed on injured reserve, there was a chance he could play this season.
Original Story:
The Buffalo Bills have placed Von Miller on injured reserve, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Miller was carted off the field during Buffalo’s Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions. While Miller avoided the worst-possible damage, he suffered lateral meniscus damage to his knee. The injury is complicated, needing a minimum two weeks of recovery time before further evaluation. Only then will specialists be able to tell whether Miller can play with a brace on or if the injury will require surgery.
“We’ve been assessing Von this week and seeing how he is,” said Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane, via a pool report. “We don’t want to rush him back. This gives us a chance to go ahead & count tonight’s game and three more on injured reserve. And hopefully we can get him back for the stretch run.”
Miller said on “The VonCast” earlier this week that he believes he will be able to play again this season. He initially set a personal return time to play against the New York Jets in Week 14. Miller’s placement on injured reserve guarantees that he will miss that window, but his season is not officially ruled out.
