Smart move.

Re-injury of ACLs is a real risk for players that rush back too quickly. 

Protect Von from himself. We need him November, December, and January (and hopefully February), not September and October.

Rousseau and Floyd are both quality starters.

Yeah, AAANNDDD?

I think it’s the best move. Need him in December and January a lot more than September.

And Epenesa and Shaq are quality reserves. In good position to hold down the fort until Miller is ready.

It is a smart move but at some point Miller has to be viewed as The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.  He is constantly giving rosy pictures of every situation and he is wrong approximately 100% of the time.

At least Beane didn't trade him for a swap of late round picks in the 2028 draft.

Look for week 7 return, as predicted 👍

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Sucks, wish they had him healthy for two division games 

[Blackbeard]

My understanding is that being on PUP you cannot practice either.  

 

SO, if that is accurate, I doubt we see him back before even week 6.

Von Miller is a relentlessly optimistic person. He is far more optimistic than he is realistic.

Anyone who still gives credence to his predictions and proclamations -- whether it be his own returns from injuries or the Bills' signing of players -- is setting themselves up for disappointment.

I get the sentiment but wins in September and October count too and saving someone for the playoffs won't matter much if they don't even qualify.

 

Hopefully it works out and the DEs can hold down the fort until he is ready to go but just assuming that will be the case is also risky.

I'm confused did fans think he was going to play week 1?

 

they basically have been saying all offseason/summer they will play cautious with him.

[WEATHER DOT COM]

Need Rousseau and/or Floyd to play above their level the first 4 games of the season.

 

Two "good" edge rushes and two "quality" backups are how mediocre pass-rushing teams look.

[EasternOHBillsFan]

If he gets hurt again, he's done, and where does that leave us if he wants to come back again instead of retire?

 

I'm all for caution and am not a Chicken Little, but I'm sick and tired of the positive BS spun over injuries only to find out it was all a mirage and additional weeks are needed for healing. We have way too much money invested in a player that hasn't made a significant impact when it counts, and I am so hoping that this is all worth it in the end....

You can get by the Raiders and Commanders without him. You can beat the Dolphins at home too. I don't want him playing on the Jets field anyway so this is expected and preferred. I would be fine with him sitting out in London too. 

 

This is also where Floyd steps up. You're in a better place than you were last year. 

 

Make sure he's fully healthy and up to speed in January and ride him to the Super Bowl

I thought he was going to play 100% of the snaps in last weeks pre season game

 

What a bust he needs to be cut
