Miller’s timetable, however, is more uncertain with the potential of him missing the start of the season.’

Von Miller Is Ready to Return to the Field … and for His Future Off It
‘It’s legacy, and Miller’s matters to him more than ever now—and in more than one way. The most obvious slice of how Miller will be remembered—as his generation’s preeminent sack master—was actually the part he thought the least about. It mattered, of course. But with 12 seasons (and counting), 123.5 career sacks (and counting) and two Super Bowl rings (and counting), all Miller can do with his football legacy is elevate, polish and enhance.’

Greg Rousseau hoping injuries won’t hamper his progress
‘Rousseau has learned some lessons as a young player in the NFL and Miller has been a big part of that. Rousseau said, “I feel way different, because after my rookie season, I was thinking like, I’m trying to be a solid player and contribute more than I did my first year, but this off season just me knowing that I know what I can do like I did early in the season last year where I was healthy, just knowing what I’m capable of, I have a lot more confidence and I’m just ready for the season.”’
Opinion: What to watch for at Bills training camp
‘Staying on the defensive side of the ball, the starting cornerback spot opposite Tre’Davious White is there for the taking once again. The Bills used three different players to handle that job last season, but I’m sure they’re hoping former first-round pick Kaiir Elam steps up and becomes an every down player. As a rookie last season, Elam was on the field for just 45% of the snaps.’

State of Stefon Diggs headlines Bills’ training camp storylines
‘There will be more than casual interest in what Diggs has to say, presuming he addresses the media in camp. And it would be wise for the Bills to schedule that with him as early as possible. Diggs might be able to put it to rest with words, though his actions, on the practice field and in games during the season, will likely speak louder.’
