What did Von Miller do?
Von Miller and his girlfriend reportedly got into an argument, after which the Bills linebacker allegedly assaulted her.
According to reports, Miller's girlfriend went to the bedroom and slammed the door shut. Miller reportedly got visibly angry and yelled at his girlfriend to leave the apartment.
She agreed to leave but wanted to gather belongings when Miller allegedly "began to shove and push her, all while telling her to leave from the unit."
The girlfriend allegedly kept telling Miller to stop because she is pregnant. Miller is said to have grabbed her and pushed her onto the couch, placing pressure around her neck with both hands. After that, she reportedly told Miller she would call the police. Miller left the property and the Bills linebacker was gone before the cops arrived.
After Miller turned himself in on Thursday afternoon, the girlfriend texted WFAA saying:
"We’re fine. Things were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous!"
She also called the incident a huge misunderstanding and claimed it was just a verbal disagreement.
"No one assaulted anyone. This is insane. And sad."
Von Miller's 2023 season in review
Miller made his return from a torn ACL earlier this season but has struggled to regain his form. Miller has played in eight games, recorded just two tackles and is looking for his first sack of the season.
As of now, neither the NFL nor the Bills have handed Miller any discipline and whether or not there will be any remains to be seen. The Bills are currently on a bye week and will return to action in Week 14 to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
