BUFFALO, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills defensive end Von Miller has been suspended four games without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Tuesday.

He will be eligible for reinstatement following the team’s Week 8 matchup at the Seattle Seahawks. Miller will also miss games with the Houston Texans and New York Jets and against the Tennessee Titans.

The suspension stems from allegations that Miller assaulted his pregnant girlfriend in November 2023 during the Bills bye week in suburban Dallas.

He turned himself in to Glenn Heights, Texas, police on November 30 on an arrest warrant on charges of third-degree assault on a pregnant woman. He was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail that afternoon before being released on $5,000 bond.

Miller has denied the allegations, saying they are “100% false.” In July 2024, Miller said the case is closed. No charges were ever filed in the case, but the NFL conducted a separate investigation.

An affidavit obtained by ESPN last year details that the allegations against Miller included placing one hand, and later both hands, on the woman’s neck for about three to five seconds, pulling her hair and tried to push her while trying to grab her. things and left after he told her to leave the apartment where they both lived.

According to the affidavit, the woman told Miller she was going to call the police, prompting him to leave the home.

Police arrived at the condominium and noted “minor abrasions” on the woman’s left hand and bruising on her neck, “injuries consistent with pressure applied to the neck,” in addition to bruising on her abdomen and left bicep. The injuries were documented when police took photos that day.

When he first addressed the allegations in December 2023, Miller said: “Honestly, I wasn’t on social media before and I certainly wasn’t on social media now. But from the things that have been brought to my attention, everything is false. And I’d like to sit here and say, ‘You all know me!’ But that is not the case. This is not the kind of situation, because domestic violence really does happen all over the world – for men and women. It’s a serious situation, so I wouldn’t pull that card.

“All I can say is it’s only a matter of time before everything works out.”

Miller restructured his contract this offseason, saving the Bills $8.645 million in cap space. He signed a six-year contract with the team in 2022.

He served a six-game suspension for PEDs in 2013.

Miller, 35, fills a rotational role on the Bills defensive line and has three sacks this season, one in each of the first three games. He played nine snaps in the Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
