Bills place Von Miller on Injured Reserve

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Von Miller on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, meaning he will miss the next four games.

Miller suffered a lateral meniscus tear on Thanksgiving in Buffalo’s 28-25 win over the Detroit Lions. Since then, the two-time Super Bowl champion had hoped to return to the field on Dec. 11 against the New York Jets.

GM Brandon Beane: "We’ve been assessing Von this week and seeing how he is, and we don’t want to rush him back. This gives us a chance to go ahead and count tonight’s game and three more on injured reserve. And hopefully we can get him back for the stretch run.”#BillsMafia https://t.co/3GJ01tI14I

Instead, Miller will be sidelined for the following games on the IR:

• Dec. 1 at New England Patriots
• Dec. 11 vs. New York Jets
• Dec. 18 vs. Miami Dolphins
• Dec. 24 at Chicago Bears

Miller will first be eligible to return on Jan. 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

He joins six other Bills players on IR.
