  Von Miller Undergoes Surgery, Out For The Year

  Buffalo Bills standout pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) underwent surgery to fix an ACL tear and will now miss the rest of the year, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Miller was already placed on Injured Reserve after injuring his knee on Thanksgiving Day, but the team was hoping to get him back for a deep playoff run. That won't happen now, and it's a big blow to the Bills defense the rest of the way. The 33-year-old former Super Bowl MVP will finish his first season in Buffalo with eight sacks, 21 tackles (18 solo), 10 tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, two passes defensed and one forced fumble in 11 starts. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready for training camp next summer. Fantasy managers in single-year IDP leagues can safely dump Miller now.

  Von Miller Lands On Injured Reserve

  The Buffalo Bills placed linebacker Von Miller (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, knocking him out for at least four games. Miller said this week that he was hoping to return before the Week 14 game against the New York Jets on Dec. 11, but that was clearly too optimistic. The Bills didn't want to rush their star pass-rusher back, and they hope that he can return for the stretch run. Fantasy managers in single-year IDP leagues can probably safely drop Miller at this point. The 33-year-old has 21 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble in 11 games in his first year in Buffalo, so losing him for the next four games will be a big blow to the Bills defense. However, they're still worth streaming in Thursday night's divisional clash against the New England Patriots.

  Von Miller Hopes To Be Back For Week 14

  Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee), who is dealing with a lateral meniscus injury that he suffered in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions, said he's hoping to be ready before the Week 14 game against the New York Jets. "Just going to wait a little bit, wait a little bit, let the swelling go down for about seven to 10 days. And hopefully right before the Jets game, I will be back," Miller said. The 33-year-old was carted off the field in Week 12 and will be re-examined next week, but there's no guarantee he'll be ready to go against the Jets. He avoided a dreaded ACL tear, but Miller is expected to require surgery at some point to address his meniscus tear. Buffalo's defense will still be relevant in fantasy, but they won't have as much upside for however long Miller is sidelined.

  Von Miller Out At Least A Week

  Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) did not suffer a torn ACL in the Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday, but there is concern about his lateral meniscus. He will be out at least a week or 10 days while he figures it out. Miller will undergo surgery, but the question is whether he'll have it now or after the season. Once the injury calms down in a week or two, doctors and the Bills will decide the next step. Fantasy managers that have Miller rostered in IDP leagues should hold tight for now, but there's still a chance Miller won't play again in 2022. Buffalo's defense/special teams unit will still be attractive in fantasy, but they'll lose a lot of upside without their best pass-rusher for the foreseeable future. They'll face the New England Patriots next Thursday night.

  Von Miller Dealing With Knee Sprain

  Updating a previous report, the initial diagnosis for Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher Von Miller (knee) is a knee sprain, according to a source. Nobody has ruled out a more serious injury, but a knee sprain would be good news for the Bills and Miller. He has an MRI exam and other tests scheduled for Friday to confirm the initial diagnosis. Miller injured his knee late in the first half of Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions and was carted off the field. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Miller will surely miss time, but the question is how much. If it's just a knee sprain, Miller should be able to return for the postseason. He came into Thursday's game with eight sacks, so losing Miller's pass-rushing prowess is a big blow to the Bills defensive unit.
