The good news is Buffalo Bills' pass rusher Von Miller didn't suffer an ACL tear on Thanksgiving.
The bad news is that he will require surgery. According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, the question lies in when he will actually undergo it. Now? Or until the season is done?
As mentioned in the tweet above, the major concern for Miller is his lateral meniscus.
For now, Miller is expected to miss next week's Thursday Night Football showdown against the New England Patriots. Beyond that, the path for the Bills' defender is unclear.
With Miller on the field, Leslie Frazier's defense became one of the most productive pass rushing units in the NFL. Moving forward, Buffalo will have to adapt. Especially if Gregory Rousseau continues to miss time as well.
After starting the season as one of the most blitz-conservative teams in the league, the Bills have been forced to send extra guys to the quarterback to get there. That could be a strategy employed more often while Miller is out.
Von Miller was brought into Buffalo as a much-needed answer for the playoffs after being eliminated by Patrick Mahomes last year. Now the Bills aren't exactly sure if he'll be back in time for the postseason.
