Bills linebacker Von Miller was handed a four-game ban on Tuesday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. 

The NFL did not cite a specific reason for the suspension, but it is believed that it is related to domestic violence allegations involving his girlfriend last November, according to ESPN.

Miller, 35, was accused of assaulting his girlfriend, and Dallas police issued an arrest warrant for the Bills star, suspecting him of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman.

Miller turned himself in to authorities on Nov. 30, 2023, and was released on $5,000 bond. 

The Bills linebacker denied the allegations, and in text statements to Dallas news station WFAA around the time of the incident, the alleged victim said that she and Miller were “fine” and that the incident was “a huge misunderstanding.” 

“No one assaulted anyone,” she told the news station. “This is insane. And sad.”

A police affidavit painted a different picture as authorities alleged Miller put hands on the woman’s neck, pulled her hair and tried to shove her. 

Police eventually closed the case without filing any charges against Miller, and he expressed relief over it when he spoke with reporters at training camp. 

“I’m able to just move forward and focus solely on football,” Miller said, according to the Democrat & Chronicle. “Life sometimes, but my life is all about football right now and my kids and being the best teammate and best football player I can possibly be. I’m happy to be here with the Buffalo Bills. I’m happy to just be in this moment, living my life and do the things that we do normally.”

Miller will be eligible for reinstatement after Week 8 when the Bills host the Seahawks.

He will miss games against the Texans, Jets, Titans and Seahawks.
