Von Miller prediction thread-when will he return to the lineup?

[The Jokeman]

Week 10 to take on the Broncos with Rey coming up from the PS and show them the mistakes they made letting them both go. 

[benderbender]

Von’s predictions are less than bankable these days.

[Fan in Chicago]

My prediction is that he sees some reps in two games before the bye week and then is a full go after bye week

okay. so if he is PUP he can be back as early as week 5 and if he starts on IR the earliest is week 7?  is that correct?

 

see above?  

Yes, I believe so TB.  The question is do they want to put him out there for Jack in London, or would they wait until the Giants in week 6.  Max is no joke anymore so I don’t know.

[GreggTX]

I say at home vs his old team, the Broncos. They want him 100% for the playoffs and have no reason to rush his return and risk a setback.

[The Avenger]

Week 9 at Cincy. Just like they did with Tre, he'll be practicing and no reports of setbacks but for over a month we'll be wondering why he's not playing and what's going on...

[Simon Says]

PUP IS 4 weeks?

[CEN-CAL17]

Miss the first 6 games, not coming back against New England. 
 

Week 8 at Home vs Tampa.

week 1?

 

Bills pass rusher Von Miller recently guaranteed that he’ll play by Week Six at the latest, but it might be earlier than that.

Miller says that based on how he feels right now, he expects to play on Monday, September 11, when the Bills open their season at the Jets.

[Airseven]

I’ll say he returns in limited action week 8 but won’t have a noticeable impact all year. Hopefully that contract can bear fruit in 2024 before he’s likely released.

[Don Otreply]

I picked week four Miami because of my extensive medical knowledge…,

I agree. My initial prediction was to l after london, but his optimism has me thinking Miami.  Miami and Jax are two huge games.  Would be great to have him.  I’d prefer if he sat the first 3 weeks.  3 less games he has a chance to get injured and wear and tear. Raiders and Washington in week 2 and 3 should be easy W’s.  Wish we could play him week 1 then sit him down the next 2 weeks, but that’s not happening 
 

 

[DieHardFan]

He SHOULD play weeks 1, 4 and then 6 til the end of the year depending on current record and opponent strength on game day.

[PrimeTime101]

OH  OH  @NewEra

 

I have something for you... Week 1 i said he may be ready yes?

Von Miller puts it out there that he thinks he might/maybe/hope be ready by week 1..

[Mr. WEO]

WC Game...

[beerme1]

He knows the drill. The recovery schedule. Based on what he's saying I believe he is in fact ready for week 1 and I am penciling him in for week one. It will be sweet. Give the man a sack on Rodgers.

[TBBills Fan]

What say you folks now?

 

Von says week 1!

I love his enthusiasm.....but I really only care about a healthy Von week 9 and beyind

That's what I picked as well...

 

I can't say when he'll be back, but I have a strong feeling his return will be delayed and he'll end actually playing later than a lot of us would have hoped for.

If Floyd can hold the fort until Von returns we'll be that much better when he does. I just don't want us rushing Von and lose him later in the season/in the playoffs as that's when he's more important. As the season is a marathon not a sprint. 

[wppete]

No need to rush back.L, especially with the Floyd signing. Hope he sits out at least the first 6 games. 

[Royale with Cheese]

I would not be surprised if he's back week 1.  He doesn't have the mental hurdle like Tre had and the second surgery heals faster.

 

[LOVEMESOMEBILLS]

 

All offseason I've been repeating what Von has been saying, he'll be ready week 1. Now, barring a setback, it's looking like a certainty.

 

 The doctors have told him his knee is fully healed. The rest, as Von states, is the mental hurdle regarding his confidence in the knee.

After seeing the video of him in practice the other day going through the motions,  I do not have confidence he is starting.  That effort he was putting forth did not look like a player ready to start in 2 weeks for Game 1 against the jets.

the week after our bye week... KC

[artmalibu]

A come back week 4 would be good.  He would miss the jets, raiders, and Washington.  Back for Mia and then Jax both are important games.

Ya I'd be content with this. I'm just wondering about Floyd. Haven't heard much of anything about him all TC. He was phenomenal last year, especially the 2nd half, in pass rush and run defense,  so as someone said, if he can hold down the fort til Von returns,  we'll be fine w Groot AJ Boogie Shaq

[Comebackkid]

Activate him, don't l play him if we don't need him... Need him wk 4 to knock out Tua.

That's Milano's job!.......

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Still thinking PUP is the most likely outcome to start the year. Although eligible to return week 5 after missing the first four games, I don’t see them doing that for a London trip (no rhyme or reason, just feels weird).

 

Week 6 seems like a good bet

Maybe sits out the whole season. The Bills need him for the playoffs. 

[Bubba Gump]

How this teams goes about reporting injuries, I'd say before Connor McGovern. 

[NickelCity]

Wouldn't mind if he took his time. I can't see getting the top seed so it's just about being healthy and in form by wild card weekend imo.

I can see being the Top Seed. 
 

Bring Von back as soon as you are able.

This is my vote. We will need him week 4 for this important divisional game. After that just load manage his snaps the rest of the season. Play him more for games like Cincy, Kc etc.

I think a strong gust of wind might take care of that. 

[JaCrispy]

I predict week 7 against the Pats…

 

He’ll likely be on PUP to start the year…That’s 4 weeks that he won’t be able to practice…

 

Once off PUP, if I’m not mistaken, I believe he has 21 days to be activated…If the Bills use the full 3 weeks post- PUP to get him up to speed, it will be the end of October by the time he sees action…

 

This will give Von a full 11 months after the injury occurred…I would feel much more comfortable with that- and wouldn’t be surprised if the team felt the same, just to be sure for the playoff push…👍

Wouldnt Week 4 mean we can’t put him on PUP?

 

So he’d be on the 53, inactive for 3 weeks, no?

[Charles Romes]

The way see it, Jonathan pushed Von to the PUP.
