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

[Airseven]

Miller was always going to the PUP.

Miller plays in London.

When the workers comp cheques run out? 🤔 Best not to rush these sorts of injuries.

‘I tend to agree with you.  I never expected him to start the year, but he’ll most likely go on a pitch count to be safe in the Jags game.  The Jags Arent a joke anymore, so we’ll need him.  The weakest part of the schedule is the beginning FWIW.

 

We should have no problems with him for the Raiders and Washington.  Once he’s placed on pup, he has to miss all 4.

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

Jonathan was on the field the entire 4th quarter. He's cut.

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

 

 

Exactly how I see it.  No need to play Week 5 in London.  That gives him 2 full weeks of normal practice before the G-men.

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

 

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

Yes, correct. They have until Tuesday to decide. If he’s PUP list he’s out for sure 1-4. If no PUP it’s anyone’s guess how it’s handled

Sit him out the whole year so he’ll be ready for 2024. I’d could even be on board with waiting until opening day at the new Highmark stadium. Should be ‘scary good’ by then!

Pending Assistant GM offers from other NFL teams?

Any recent news on Von?

 

He's eligible to come off IR after this week's game.

 

Figured some reporter would have asked Coach in the recent days, or should.

[CNYfan]

I would say a small dose on Week 6.  

 

If it goes like Tre it will be Christmas.

I'm splitting the difference and realistically expecting him back for the Jets game Nov 19. 🤞

[EmotionallyUnstable]

I’ll repeat my prediction of week 6.

 

He’ll play a minimal rotational role. Floyd and Groot have been holding it down wonderfully, and there is no rush to force snaps early. Get his feet wet and his game conditioning back to full strength while he can come in situationally and build back up some confidence. 

[GottaRun]

I think McD will want to ease Von back into the routine.  Can't see him travelling to England as that's not normal routine.  We'll see him in pads for week 6 but he won't play, just be eased back into being dressed and being on the sideline.  He comes back to play week 7

If we don't "need" him, I wouldn't mind holding him out 3/4's or better of the season, have him as fresh as can be for the playoffs

Hard to get back into game shape if you don’t play in any games.

Week 8 home game against TB having him knocking off some rust would be perfect.

Bengals the next week.  He can rest the following week against the Broncos.

The Jets and Eagles before the bye week.

[BuffaloBillyG]

From everything that was mentioned when they officially placed him on PUP, he was close. How much of that is true and how much was talk remains to be seen. 

 

But if he really was close and had no setbacks I would expect him to come off PUP next week. Spend the week practicing. I expect he will travel to London as well (because he's not missing a free trip to London😂) but not be active. He'll be on the field the following week with limited snaps count IMO.
