Von Miller won't miss time despite DV allegations: Bills GM

Update: Miller said on Thursday that the allegations that he assaulted his pregnant girlfriend are “100 percent false” and “overblown.”

”Obviously, there are things that I can’t talk about but everything that was out is completely wrong and blown out of proportion,” Miller said. “Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does but there has never been any of those things that was alleged against me. Hopefully, over time all of this stuff will get cleared up. Sometimes life just ... be life-ing. You’ve just got to keep pushing and keep moving. The people who know me and the people who have been around me know my character, they know who I am.”

A warrant for Miller’s arrest came on Nov. 29 in Texas, and he turned himself in the next day. The alleged incident took place during the Bill’s bye week.

“All of it is incorrect and all of it is untrue,” Miller said. “The only thing that is true is we do have a third son on the way. ... Everything else is untrue.”

Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller is expected to play this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to GM Brandon Beane. Miller had turned himself into police custody after an arrest warrant was issued for allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend during the team’s bye week.

Miller currently faces a charge of third-degree felony assault which can be punishable by two to 10 years in prison, and a fine of up to $10,000.

Because no formal charges have been made against Miller, he is not on the commissioner’s exempt list and therefore allowed to play.

Miller has not released a statement of his own at this time, but the Bills are “in the process of gathering information.” Beane said that the team will allow the legal process to take place and not jump to any judgments or conclusions, but that the linebacker is eligible to practice and expected to play.

“No one wants their name associated with any accusation like that, so that’s a natural disappointment. I’m sure he’s disappointed,” Beane said. “But things happen sometimes, and again, we have to remember people, we have to give them their fair due process. That can happen to anyone in this room. And I would hope we would all wait and let that play out before we rush to judgment.”
