Scott7975 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I think it's possible for Von to get some snaps just to get him going and back into game shape. I don't think they are going to play him on full rotations though. It isn't like this team to do that with players coming off this type of injury. They usually work them back in slowly if I am not mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docs clearing you does not mean you are ready to play in an NFL football game. Every player and every injury is different. Being “cleared” might mean next Sunday, or they can put you in the “day to day” category which can last weeks. I think Von can come back and be close to Von from snap one. That was not the case with Tre. I pray for his recovery. Great guy by all accounts, and two really lousy breaks. Hope things go well for this young man! I would think if there's anyone who could step right in and play with minimal official practice, especially a month after being cleared by docs to play, it's Von Miller. Dude's just unnatural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s an unrealistic expectation that Miller will begin playing in week 5 and remain healthy throughout the season. To Motorin’s point - let other guys get reps now because it’s likely we’ll need them further down the road. If this was a division game or a game against KC, then I’d be on board to get him on the field. But it’s Jacksonville. We shouldn’t need him on the field to win this game and I doubt we’ll be looking a tiebreaker scenarios with Jacksonville come January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 "Rushing him back" would have been playing him in week 1. They are clear of that. He was ready then.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Don't imagine Von will play alot but enough to knock a little rust off. Give Groot some time to heal and by all means keep Leonard Floyd healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I think conference is the tiebreaker after head to head for seeding in the playoffs. So if for example we are tied for the one seed with Baltimore, conference record will matter. In any case, if he aint ready I still wouldn't play him but I don't know where all this talk comes from every time someone is coming back from injury. Why do people assume he is being rushed if he plays? If he is healthy then the best thing for him would be to get some reps and start getting back in football shape. That is not to say he should go out there and play a full game or anything, but he should get at least some reps. It's good for his conditioning.

The knee injury only made things worse. I can understand this point of view although I was all in on Von. I’d be interested in who you would have spent that money on more wisely though. Or, is this just you don’t like spending that kind of money for an older DE despite his pedigree? Just curious, as I don’t think signing Von to that contract has really kept us from making any other moves that we wanted to make and our biggest need at the time was some pass rush to get past KC. Sucks that he blew out his knee which was a risk we took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Von is medically cleared to play, then he should be playing. Obviously, he shouldn’t be playing 100% of the snaps, but not playing a player because you are afraid he might get injured just isn’t something that coaches or players would be on board with. Maybe the Bills should sit Josh Allen for the next 4 or 5 weeks to keep him from getting injured as well🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The whole thing with Von is it seemed like he was borderline ready week 1.

BigDingus Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Whenever Von says something, I'm inclined to think the opposite is true. The fact that we still haven't heard anything, less than 24 hours before the game, doesn't inspire much confidence that he's actually playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
