Von Miller could miss some time in the league
Later, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Miller will go through various scans and MRIs to know the severity of his knee injury. As per Rapoport, the initial examinations suggested that Miller suffered a knee sprain, which could force him out of the field for a few weeks.
In a recent report, Rapoport said that Miller was diagnosed with a knee sprain. However, the MRI will tell the full story about Miller’s knee injury. According to the NFL insider, the MRI scan could show a different result, which could be devastating news for the Bills.
Earlier, the Bills have already lost many players in defense, including Greg Rosseau and A J Epenesa. If they miss Miller for a long time, it will definitely hit their playoff chances, and possibly their Super Bowl dreams as well. Notably, Miller is currently leading the Bills with 8 sacks so far this season. Before leaving the game against the Lions, he already had one tackle and one quarterback hit.
