Von Miller returning to practice

Bills HC Sean McDermott has said Edge Von Miller will begin practicing this week. Miller opened the year on the PUP list after tearing his right ACL late last season. We'll see how soon the veteran is ready for game action, and we'd bet on the team limiting Miller's snaps early on. But it's obviously a positive that he's set to practice as soon as he's eligible to do so.

Surgery on the right knee of Bills EDGE Von Miller this week revealed that he tore the ACL on Thanksgiving against the Lions. Doctors believed the meniscus to be the big issue, as MRI did not reveal the ACL damage. Miller is now obviously out for the rest of this season. We'll see how he fares in getting ready for 2023.

The Bills have placed EDGE Von Miller (knee) on IR. He'll miss at least 3 more games (after missing Thursday night's win at New England), which makes Miller cuttable in IDP redraft leagues.

Bills EDGE Von Miller tore the lateral meniscus in this right knee in Thursday's win over the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Miller will be evaluated again in 7-10 days, and Rapoport adds that he'll need surgery on it at some point. The question will be whether it can wait until after the season. Missing Miller will hurt a defense that has dealt with myriad injuries -- and suffered for it by the fantasy numbers.

Bills EDGE Von Miller left in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Lions with a right knee injury. He has been ruled out with what has been deemed at least a knee sprain. There's fear that he tore the ACL. We'll see what doctors say. Miller previously tore his right ACL back in 2013.

The Bills are signing EDGE Von Miller to a 6-year deal, according to multiple reports. We'd bet against the 33-year-old (as of March 26) defender playing out that whole contract, but the reported $51.5 million guaranteed makes it sound like 3 years would be a solid bet. Most importantly, of course, Buffalo gains the best pass-rusher it will have had in HC Sean McDermott's stint. Miller racked up 82 total pressures last season, 5th most among all edge defenders, according to Pro Football Focus. He leaves behind a void for a Rams team lacking a 1st-round draft pick. Landing in Buffalo should also give Miller DE eligibility (perhaps for the 1st time ever in many fantasy football leagues). If that happens, it'll boost his IDP value.
