Bills’ Von Miller says ‘safe bet’ he’ll make his return in game against Jaguars in London

‘”I think the biggest thing is the first day when you’re coming off an injury like that, you want to get through it,” McDermott said. “I applaud him for making it through that first practice because that’s a milestone in and of itself because of the months and months and the hours of rehab. So, I think that’s really where we’re at. I think day two was better than day one. He looked like he was getting more comfortable.”‘

‘Miller was a limited participant in both Wednesday and Thursday’s practices, and after the team arrived in London early Friday morning, he was out there for the team’s walk-through.

McDermott confident in extensive planning leading up to Sunday

‘”We’ve got to be able to trust our staff. They’re the experts in this area in particular,” said McDermott with WGR’s own Sal Capaccio while in London on Friday. “So along with Joe Collins – who I mentioned earlier in the week, being from London – doing a lot of research on the soccer league out here and so on and so forth, it’s been well-researched and detailed.”‘

‘The Grove was first constructed in the early 1700s. About 20 years ago, during excavation, they found a stone ax that dated back almost 4,000 years. The Bills’ history here isn’t as extensive. They played the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in 2015 in their only game across the pond.’

‘“I’ve always saved everything,” said John Boutet, site chairman of Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame and Bills Basement owner. “When I went to a game I saved a ticket, or a program or my father would buy me a pennant at the game and bring it home, so I would always save all of those things. I was never a person who would throw them out so that’s kind of how I got into it.”’
