Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media put Denver Broncos fans into a frenzy after reporting that Von Miller suffered an ankle injury during practice on Tuesday.

#Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller suffered a lower leg injury in practice today, per me and @MikeGarafolo. The fear is that he’s done for the season. But the MRI will tell all.

According to Rapoport, the fear is that this ankle injury will cost Miller the entire 2020 season. However, they’re still waiting for the MRI results.

The potentially season-ending ankle injury for #Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller is a serious one. He’s undergoing an MRI and more will be known tomorrow. But based on the initial read, it’s not good. https://t.co/PxQjIcMTY9

Adam Schefter confirms that Miller does, in fact, have an ankle injury that could be season-ending. One source tells Schefter that it was a “freak injury” during practice.

The leg injury that NFL Network said Von Miller suffered is an ankle injury, per source. There’s fear that it’s season ending, per sources. Miller was hurt near the end of practice, what one person called “a freak” injury. Team still evaluating MRI now.
