Miller returns to Bills practice, another POW for Allen, Rousseau misses practice, other injury updates from Wednesday's session
‘Miller has spent Buffalo’s first four games on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after his 2022 season ended due to a knee injury he sustained during the Bills’ Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. Initially, there had been some hope that Miller’s expedited recovery would impress the Buffalo training staff enough in the weeks leading up to the season to find a way to crack the team’s opening-day roster. But in the end, the Bills elected to take the safe route, instead putting their prized pass rusher on the shelf for the season’s first four weeks. The Bills will now have 21 days to activate Miller from PUP to the 53-man roster. Otherwise, he will be placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season.’
Bills determined not to repeat past mistakes following emotional win
‘Buffalo has been in this position often over the last few seasons, building up confidence with a big win, only to have a letdown and lose a winnable game. That 9-6 loss to a Jaguars team destined for the No. 1 overall pick following the 2021 season is still all too fresh.’
Von Miller returns to practice, Bills coy on whether he plays vs. Jaguars
‘“It feels like I’ve been away from (my pads) so long and I see them each and every day,” Miller said. “I’m in the film room, and the locker room, and training room each and every day. But it feels like I’ve been separated from those guys for so long, man. And it feels good to be back in gen pop, back with all the other guys, man.”’

‘”It’s still not a promise that I play in this game,” Miller said. “I want to play in this game. I gotta practice [Wednesday] and I only get one padded practice. So obviously I go out there and I [need to] look amazing with this padded practice. Cause the difference is, like in training camp, you get multiple padded practices to kinda like figure your game out. I just get one padded practice tomorrow and then we have a shells practice on Thursday and then we fly to London on Thursday night. I really don’t have all the time in the world to like figure it out. I get one padded practice. So hopefully I look amazing tomorrow. I feel really strongly that I will. That’s just how I think I feel like I will be amazing tomorrow and everybody will give me the green light to go play in the game.”‘

At the end of the day, I know he’s intent on playing just good team football. But it’s a welcome addition to the group, and having him back, it’s been a journey for him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy with such a positive mindset, mental toughness, just really goal oriented on getting back and getting healthy again, and getting out there on the field.”‘
