The Buffalo Bills Pass-rusher Von Miller has been placed on injured reserve, the team announced hours before their game against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. This comes as the player continues to battle with a knee injury.
Miller was diagnosed with lateral meniscus damage to his right knee after getting injured during Buffalo’s win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. As a result, he will be ruled out of action for at least four games. By placing him on injured reserve just hours before Thursday night’s game, the 24-10 victory over the Patriots counts as one of the four games.
General manager Brandon Beane confirmed that Miller should be able to return from injury before the end of the season. “He’s been doing treatment and trying to rehab it,” Beane stated. “We don’t want to rush him back, and he’s a competitor. That’s why we love him. That’s why he’s so great. The competitor in him — if he could wheel it out there tonight, he would do it. We just think in talking to the medical people that the best decision right now is to give this time, and that gives him the best opportunity to help us down the stretch.”
