Despite his performance on the field, where he has already notched three sacks and five tackles while participating in 35% of the team's defensive plays across four games, Miller will be absent until October 28. This means he will miss crucial matchups against the Houston Texans, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans, returning just after the Bills face the Seattle Seahawks.

The announcement came following an investigation where no charges were filed, and the case was declared closed. Miller expressed relief over being able to focus solely on football again, a sentiment he shared with reporters back in July.

Miller’s absence will certainly impact the Bills' defense, which has benefitted from his experience and skill. The linebacker, an eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro team member, has been pivotal in the team’s early success this season, contributing significantly to their current 3-1 record.

The team will have to navigate this suspension strategically, aiming to maintain their strong start to the season. Miller's return on October 28 will be anticipated, as the Bills hope to leverage his talents in the latter half of their regular-season schedule.
