‘Key Matchup: CB Tre’Davious White against Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill. After being eased back into action in his first two games after missing a year recovering from a torn knee ligament, White played all 74 snaps last weekend.

‘“After the game (against the Jets), they had FaceTimed me, they had me in the locker room,” Miller said. ‘This is what I do better than anything else in life is play football, is rush the passer, is be a great teammate. So, during the season, especially wins and game days, like, I want to be with the guys. There is no other place where I would rather be than right here with these guys going through the stretch with these guys into the playoffs. I’m not able to, like, contribute physically on the field, but you know, so much other stuff that I can do off the football field, getting guys ready mentally, getting guys ready, letting them know the perspective you need to have deep into the season and deep into the playoffs. So, still the same Von, I’m just off the field with them.”’
