I&#8217;m just happy all of that stuff is behind me,&#8221; said Miller, who missed Weeks 5 to 8 without pay. &#8220;Since I&#8217;ve been here with the Buffalo Bills, it&#8217;s either been injury or the PUP list or the suspension, and I&#8217;m just happy to have all the stuff behind me for the first time in 2\u00bd years and just able to just focus on football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230; Got nine games left, and once you have something taken away from you &#8212; whether it&#8217;s football stuff, NFL stuff, league stuff, like what happened over the last month or whether it&#8217;s [an] injury &#8212; you just have a new appreciation for the sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/39013616\/warrant-issued-bills-von-miller-alleged-assault\">Miller turned himself in<\/a> to the Glenn Heights (Texas) Police Department on Nov. 30 on an arrest warrant for a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman. The allegations of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend in suburban Dallas came during the Bills&#8217; bye week in 2023. He was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail that afternoon before being released on $5,000 bond.<\/p>\n<p>He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/39198986\/bills-von-miller-says-assault-allegations-100-false\">denied the allegations<\/a> and said that they are &#8220;100% false.&#8221; The Dallas County District Attorney&#8217;s Office confirmed to ESPN last month that the case is closed. No charges were ever filed in the case. The NFL conducted a separate investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Miller on Wednesday would not say whether he contemplated appealing the suspension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just trying to bury that and put it behind me,&#8221; Miller, 35, said. &#8220;&#8230; Got a 6-2 team. <a data-player-guid=\"237b9f2a-4701-8fc3-60eb-250978af9893\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/3918298\/josh-allen\">Josh Allen<\/a>&#8216;s playing like an MVP. That&#8217;s our counterpart. They put up points. I&#8217;m able to pass rush and do all the things that I do. So that&#8217;s where my focus is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A temporary roster exemption was granted to the Bills for this week as Miller returns from his suspension, and the team has an open spot on the 53-man roster waiting for him. He has been around the team&#8217;s facility for the past two weeks because the collective bargaining agreement allows players to be in the building during the second half of the suspension period.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From what I&#8217;ve seen over the last couple of weeks, [being in the facility] gives the player a chance to, number one, from a mental health standpoint, be back around his teammates,&#8221; coach Sean McDermott said. &#8220;And then number two, from a physical health standpoint, do what he can to get himself ramped up a little bit as he comes off the suspension.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goodell said in March that he did consider placing Miller on the commissioner&#8217;s exempt list, but he did not feel it was appropriate at the time based on all the facts. The commissioner&#8217;s list makes players exempt from counting against the active roster for reasons determined by the commissioner.<\/p>\n<p>Miller has played in 27 regular-season games with the Bills and two playoff games since signing a six-year deal originally worth $120 million in March 2022. He suffered a major right ACL injury on Thanksgiving 2022, and he stated during training camp this year that he &#8220;probably should not have played&#8221; in 2023 because of the injury. He restructured his contract this offseason, taking a pay cut and saving the Bills $8.645 million in cap space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;ll be good to have Von back,&#8221; McDermott said. &#8220;He&#8217;s been out four weeks and never sure what that brings, right, in terms of staying refined, staying polished. But I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s been chomping at the bit to get back. It&#8217;ll be nice to have him back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But again, it&#8217;s never about one person, especially when you play up front. It&#8217;s about the sum of the parts and it&#8217;s about four guys rushing as one. And that&#8217;ll be important for us as we move forward as defense overall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Bills went 3-1 while Miller was suspended and have a 3\u00bd-game lead in the AFC East ahead of Sunday&#8217;s home game against the <a data-clubhouse-guid=\"af33088b-1e19-d27d-dbc0-354fd7151703\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/mia\/miami-dolphins\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>.
