Buffalo Bills pass rusher Von Miller was suspended four games on Tuesday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced.
Miller will now miss the Bills’ next four games, and will be eligible for reinstatement on Oct. 28.
Though it wasn’t specifically announced, the suspension likely stems from Miller’s felony domestic violence incident last fall. Miller turned himself into police in Texas last November on suspicion of assaulting a pregnant woman, which is a third-degree felony. Miller was accused of assaulting his longtime girlfriend and mother of his children at their shared home in Dallas. Among other things, Miller allegedly choked his girlfriend twice during an argument, ripped out a patch of her hair and stomped on her laptop.
Miller’s girlfriend downplayed the incident and denied there was an assault. Miller later said that the allegations were completely false and “blown out of proportion.” The case was eventually closed without charges being filed. The NFL has been investigating ever since.
Miller was also investigated for domestic violence in 2021 when he was playing for the Denver Broncos. He was not charged in that incident, either.
Miller is in the third year of a six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills. The 35-year-old has appeared in all four of their games this season, and has five total tackles and three sacks while helping Buffalo to a 3-1 start. With his suspension, Miller will miss Buffalo’s game against the Houston Texans this weekend, and then matchups against the New York Jets, Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks. He will be able to return for the Bills’ game against the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 3.
