Broncos coach Vic Fangio: 'No doubt' Von Miller can return to pre-injury form

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio told reporters that he has "no doubt" that Von Miller can return to his pre-injury form, as long as the pass rusher is willing to put in the work.

"It's going to be up to him to put in the time and effort in the next few months to get his body right . . ." Fangio said. "You need to do more to maintain that level of play once you start getting into your 30s like he is and playing the position he is. There's no doubt in mind that he can do it. He's just got to do it himself."

Miller has been one of the best defensive players in the league since he was drafted by Denver in 2011, but there are concerns that injuries are slowing him down. He missed all of last season after tearing his peroneal tendon during practice, and at 32, his best days could be behind him. Just don't tell that to Miller, who expressed confidence that he would be as dominant as ever this season.

"I'm still running around here beating everybody's ass, so I feel like, 30-what?" Miller said. "Until I see otherwise, I'm going to keep doing it and I'm going to keep going."
