Buffalo N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills appeared to have dodged a bullet on Thursday after veteran linebacker Von Miller was carted off the field in the second quarter of their 28-25 win over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
According to multiple reports, Miller did not tear the ACL in his right knee, but there appears to be other damage to the knee that doctors are reviewing. His timeline in unclear, at this point, but the additional tests by doctors will hopefully determine how much time he will miss.
CBS Sports NFL insider Josina Anderson reports Miller is still waiting to evaluate whether for multiple second opinions. However, Miller is in no rush to decide on options for his knee, but he could decide to return and play with a brace on his knee.
After Thursday's game, Bills head coach Sean McDermott had no update on the status of Miller's condition. Miller finished the game with only one tackle and a quarterback hit before exiting.
The Bills are already without pass rushers Gregory Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa, who both missed Thursday's game with ankle injuries. Rousseau has been injured since Buffalo's Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, while Epenesa recently injured his ankle on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
McDermott is slated to address the media on Friday at 4 p.m. EST.
The Bills' next matchup is set for Thursday against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.
