Just hours before kicking off against the New England Patriots, Buffalo announced that two-time Super Bowl champion edge rusher Von Miller will be placed on injured reserve. That move means he will miss at least four weeks - which means he won't be eligible to return to the lineup until Buffalo travels to Cincinnati in Week 16 on January 2. Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller has been placed on injured reserve - leaving him out at least four weeks as he recovers from a knee injury sustained last week against Detroit The eight-time Pro-Bowler was sat down after discussions between coaches, training staff, doctors, and other key decision makers. Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Bills GM Brandon Beane said Miller didn't have a setback, but they just 'don't want to rush him back.' 'He's been doing treatment and trying to rehab it,' Beane told pool reporters. 'We don't want to rush him back, and he's a competitor. That's why we love him. 'That's why he's so great. The competitor in him - if he could wheel it out there tonight, he would do it. Prior to getting injured, Miller led the Bills in sacks with eight and tackles for a loss with ten 'We just think in talking to the medical people that the best decision right now is to give this time, and that gives him the best opportunity to help us down the stretch.' With Miller out, the void left by the three-time first-team All-Pro pass rusher would be filled by A.J. Epenesa. However, with Epenesa out injured as well, expect third stringer Shaq Lawson to step up for the game against New England. Before going down with the injury, Miller led the Bills in sacks with eight on the season and was second on the team in tackles for a loss with ten. With both Miller and A.J. Epenesa injured, expect edge rusher Shaq Lawson to start Thursday Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
