Orchard Park, N.Y. (WBEN/AP) - Buffalo Bills top pass-rusher Von Miller will miss, at least, the first four games of the 2023 regular season as he continues his recovery from a torn right knee ligament after being placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Tuesday.

The Bills announced the move as part of their decision to pare their roster to a 53 players. Though Miller hoped to be ready for the start of the season, the move was expected after the 12th-year player has yet to be cleared for practice.
Miller was hurt in a 28-25 win at the Detroit Lions on Nov. 24 and had surgery a few weeks later.
The 34-year-old is entering his second season with Buffalo after signing a six-year contract with Buffalo in March 2022, and months after winning his second Super Bowl title with the Los Angeles Rams. He leads NFL active players with 123.5 sacks, and had eight in 11 games with the Bills before getting hurt.
