Is Von Miller playing this week? (Latest injury update for Jaguars vs. Bills in NFL Week 5)
By Peter Dewey
Buffalo Bills star pass rusher Von Miller returned to practice this week after missing the first four games of the 2023 season on the physically unable-to-perform list.
Miller is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season, but he plans to play if the team wants him to in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"If they want me to play, I'll play. My goal is to be available. If they feel it's best for me to play. I'll play. I wanna play... If they don't and wanna wait until next week vs the Giants then I'll do that as well."

If Miller returns, it would be a massive boost to the Buffalo pass rush.

Jaguars vs. Bills odds, spread and total
With Miller back, the Bills defense should be in a better spot after allowing the most yards per carry through the first four games of the season.
Miller will help the Buffalo pass rush, and even if he’s on a snap count he should make things tough on Trevor Lawrence and company.
