Buffalo Bills star Von Miller is expected to take the field this week despite being embroiled in domestic violence charges. A warrant was issued against Miller by the Dallas Police Department after an alleged assault on his pregnant girlfriend, as per a sworn statement from the Dallas Police Department.
Beane, the Bills' general manager, shared that they were satisfied with Miller's progress and would follow the NFL's example in the future. Beane acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating, "You never want anyone in your organization to face such an accusation."
Regarding disciplinary action from the NFL, Beane explained that the team had not been present during the investigation and could not intervene. Miller underwent dialogue with the team, sharing his perspective on the matter [2]. The team is in regular communication with the league and does not anticipate Miller's inclusion on the NFL commissoner's exemption list.
Suspending judgement on the legal proceedings, the Bills plan to allow Miller to participate in practice, with the expectation that he will do so on Thursday [3]. Coach McDermott noted that Miller would not participate in Wednesday's veteran-free training session.
The Bills face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET, presenting a significant challenge for Miller and the team.
