Von Miller is desperate to return to playing this weekend, having begun practicing again this week following a lengthy injury spell.
The All-Pro pass rusher has been out since tearing his ACL during a Week 12 fixture against the Detroit Lions last season. But he spoke at length about wanting to play in London for the first time, with the Bills scheduled to play the Jacksonville Jaguars over there on Sunday.
The Bills released their injury report for the upcoming clash this Friday in which Miller was listed as “Questionable” following his limited practices this week. Cornerback Christian Benford was listed the same while Greg Rousseau and Tre’Davious Davis (DE and CB) were ruled out.
“It’s still not a promise that I play in this game,” Miller said on his ‘The Voncast’ podcast earlier this week. “I want to play in this game.
“I gotta practice tomorrow and I only get one padded practice. So obviously I got 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.”
The 34-year-old recorded eight sacks and 12 QB hits before suffering that season-ending injury last term.

Whether he is able to return to such form after recovering from such an injury at his age remains to be seen, but the Bills can’t be worse for having him in their defense on Sunday and will be a bigger threat on that side of the ball if he’s only half as good as we’ve become used to.
