Von Miller Is About to Return to Game Action for the Bills

The Buffalo Bills travel to London tomorrow. They will be the designated home team for the game at Hotspur Tottenham stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kickoff will be at 9:30 am locally here in Buffalo.

The Bills are leading the AFC East after their blowout win over the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are also 3-1, but the Bills hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.

The Bills have the best point differential in the NFL and are now regarded by many as the best team in the AFC right now, with the Dolphins, Chiefs and Ravens being in the mix.

The win over Miami came at a cost. The Bills lost the cornerback Tre'Davious White for the season with an Achilles injury, which means that more responsibilities will be placed on Christian Benford, Dane Jackson and Kaiir Elam, who has been inactive the first four weeks.

The Bills will gain someone on the defense and it's a player who can make a huge difference.

Head coach Sean McDermott announced today that edge rusher Von Miller will return to practice. It's the first time that Miller has practiced in team drills since his ACL injury last November.

This does not mean Miller will for sure play this Sunday in London. The Bills now have 21 days to activate Miller to the 53-man roster, which means October 25th is the deadline. The Bills (if they so choose) can not play Miller for the next two games (Jaguars and back home against the Giants).

McDermott would not give a timetable on Miller's return to game action but it's reasonable to assume they will not play Miller in a tough road trip overseas. However, it's reasonable to think he makes his return next Sunday night against the Giants at Highmark Stadium.

Miller did say on his podcast that he wants and expects to play in London this Sunday. We shall see.
