[Starr Almighty]

"I'm close"

 

 

You think it's just a player getting ahead of himself or will he be ready to go week 1

You never know, he looks bigger to me than he did last year. He trained his ass off to get back and I wouldn’t doubt at all he’s back before the first six games but week 1 might be pushing it

[KingBoots8]

Week 5 is my guess. Close, but our staff like to ease players back in.

 

Personally I’d be more than happy having him come back after our bye week. Keep him fresh for the late / post season

[ColoradoBills]

I was in error on my comment in another thread.  PUP is only 4 weeks mandatory to start the season for Von not 6.

I still think Von should take September off.

This staff is always cautious, imo.  I'd be surprised if they let him play until they were 100% on it - I'd guess sometime in October at the earliest.

  Yea and if our young guys step up a bit and hold down the fort while he is brought in just in time to ramp up his game to playoff level intensity, then it's a win win.  He gets to rest until we are getting team prepped for a long post season run to Lombardi no 1 of the Allen era of Bills  football, while our young guys get in some reps to keep improving.

I'm with the play it safe crowd as well. But BBB did say this

 

One person who is not ruling out a return for Miller is Brandon Beane. Buffalo’s general manager recently told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that there’s “definitely a possibility” that Miller will be ready to play against the Jets in Week 1. This came days after the general manager referred to the pass-rusher as a “genetic freak.”

Guessing not before the bye 

[Mr. WEO]

"checks cashed"

[boyst]

This guy could promote ice cube sales in an igloo. And I'm not necessarily saying that in a good way. But he is one hell of a hype machine for himself.

We were close to signing OBJ and HOPKINS

[JoPoy88]

We just guessing here? Week 5.

If he is all healed up and ready to go, there isn't really a reason to keep him out, though.

That is probably going to be a debatable opinion among the experts.  It's a long season and I'd trade September for January and February.

Just my cautious nature.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Do whatever is needed to make sure he is healthy for the playoffs 

[I'm Spartacus]

With Leonard Floyd in the mix now, I'm okay with Von taking his time getting back to 100%

AND, our defense also looked different without him. I can live with the self-hype as long as he comes back playing likes he’s that same old wrecking ball!

Whatever it takes to have a monster pass rush come the playoffs. That tilts the field. I love the idea of Von, Floyd, Groot and Ed coming at you from every direction! Knowing you can take it to them gives you that eye of the tiger stuff. We need the horses!

It might not be. Maybe all the experts will think he is ready to go.

If he wasn’t a proud AARP card holder, I’d be more optimistic.

Well, making it into AARP is certainly worth celebrating! That’s lofty status! 

 

I think he’ll work his arse off to walk away after one more Lombardi Trophy! 

 

….but then come back for the rest of the money until the well is dry.  Who am I to judge?  🤷‍♂️
