Bills' Von Miller gives very specific odds of Week 5 return vs. Jaguars
Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller revealed just how confident he is of a Week 5 return from injury when the team faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
His self-projection to come back from last season's torn ACL on Sunday was very specific.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said earlier in the day that the team is taking it "one day at a time" with Miller's return.
The eight-time Pro Bowler practiced throughout the week and is listed as questionable on Buffalo's Friday injury report.
Miller suffered his injury during the team's Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions in Week 12 last year. The 34-year-old said over the summer that making it back for Week 1 this September was the best-case scenario, while coming back in Week 6 would the worst case.
Despite missing the final six games of the campaign, Miller still tied for first on the Bills in sacks (eight) last season.
The former Super Bowl MVP said late in the summer that he "physically" felt "good," but he was still placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list ahead of the campaign. Miller didn't hold the Bills' decision to sit him out against them, calling Brandon Beane the "best GM in all of sports."
Being placed on the PUP list meant that Miller would need to miss the first four games. Sunday is the first eligible date for his return, which seems like a foregone conclusion heading into the weekend.
