The suspension likely stems from Miller’s felony domestic violence incident from last fall. Miller turned himself into police in Texas last November on suspicion of assaulting a pregnant person, which is a third-degree felony. Miller was accused of assaulting his longtime girlfriend at their shared home in Dallas. Among other things, Miller allegedly choked his girlfriend twice during an argument, ripped out a patch of her hair and stomped on her laptop.
Miller’s girlfriend, however, later downplayed the incident and denied there was an actual assault. Miller later said that the allegations were completely false and “blown out of proportion.” The case was eventually closed without charges being filed. The NFL has been investigating ever since.
in 2021 when he was playing for the Denver Broncos, but he was not charged in that incident, either.
Miller is in the third year of a six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills this fall. He’s appeared in all four of their games this season, and has five total tackles and three sacks while helping Buffalo to a 3-1 start.
