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.
