Though disappointed in the allegations of domestic violence made against Von Miller<\/a>, Buffalo Bills<\/a> general manager Brandon Beane stressed that he wants the legal process to play out and not rush to making any judgements.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Beane said, Miller will participate in practice and is expected to play when the Bills (6-6) travel to play the Kansas City Chiefs (8-4) on Monday (AEDT).<\/p>\n

Beane spoke for the team as the Bills returned from their bye week off, and a week after Miller turned himself in to police in a Dallas suburb after being charged in a warrant with domestic violence against the mother of his children, who is pregnant.<\/p>\n

Miller faces a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman, which is punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $15,200 fine (USD). He is free after posting a $7600 bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants their name associated with any accusation like that, so that\u2019s a natural disappointment. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s disappointed,\u201d Beane said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut things happen sometimes, and again, we have to remember people, we have to give them their fair due process. That can happen to anyone in this room. And I would hope we would all wait and let that play out before we rush to judgement."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saying the Bills are following the NFL's lead, Beane called the allegations serious while adding they seemed \u201cout of character\u201d for a person he\u2019s come to know over the past year and a half since signing Miller in free agency.<\/p>\n

In Dallas, the district attorney's office informed The Associated Press that it had no updates on the investigation since Miller turned himself in a day after the alleged assault occurred on November 30. According to a police affidavit which officers wrote, Miller twice put his hands on the neck of the woman, pulled out a chunk of her hair and threw her onto a couch. The woman was treated for minor injuries, including bruising on her neck, police said.<\/p>\n

The woman and Miller have been in a relationship for seven years and have children together, police wrote in an affidavit supporting the arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Beane, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Miller will practice fully as part of a plan that was put in place before the bye week.<\/p>\n

As for the allegations, McDermott said: \u201cIt\u2019s a very, very serious situation. There\u2019s no ifs, ands or buts about that.\u201d The coach then deferred to Beane in saying the GM spoke for the team, while McDermott was placing his focus on practice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beane said he\u2019s discussed what happened with Miller and his representatives but preferred keeping those conversations private. Beane said he\u2019s also been in contact with the NFL and doesn\u2019t anticipate Commissioner Roger Goodell placing Miller on the exempt list.<\/p>\n

The NFL issued a statement saying it continues gathering information and following all legal developments.<\/p>\n

In the past, players aren\u2019t placed on the commissioner\u2019s exempt list until formal charges are filed by a prosecutor or through the findings of a grand jury, or when the league\u2019s own investigation concludes there was a potential violation of the NFL\u2019s personal conduct policy.<\/p>\n

The woman told police she was six weeks pregnant and showed them a photograph of a positive pregnancy test and a screenshot of a text conversation with Miller in which they discussed the possible due date of the child and a doctor visit.<\/p>\n

According to police, Miller threw the woman's laptop on the couch and stomped on it. After pulling out some of her hair and throwing her on a couch, he put both hands on her neck. She told police she recorded some of the attack and, when she threatened to call police, he left.<\/p>\n

Miller has two Super Bowl rings, from the 2015 season with the Broncos and 2021 with the Rams after Denver traded him to Los Angeles during that season. He then signed with Buffalo the following spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
