Von Miller’s punching his ticket for London.
The Buffalo Bills activated Miller off the physically unable to perform list on Saturday, the team announced Saturday, putting the outside linebacker on a path to make his season debut Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network and NFL+.
Miller has not played since Week 12 of last season when he tore his ACL in a Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions. The three-time All-Pro returned to practice on Wednesday, opening a three-week window to be activated. He was officially listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.

The 34-year-old said earlier in the week that you could “expect to see Von Miller in London,” and that will indeed be the case.
“I think that’s a safe bet,” Miller added Friday. “It’s been a long road to recovery. Had two really good practices, had a really good practice today. I think it’s a really safe bet that I’ll be out there, for sure.”
Packing a three-game winning streak with them, the Bills (3-1) has no doubt traveled with some extra momentum to face the Jaguars (2-2) knowing Miller is returning.
Miller, who has never played in a London game, looked every bit his old self last season for the Bills prior to his injury, posting eight sacks.
Entering Week 5, the Bills have tallied a league-high 16 sacks (tied with the Chargers and Seahawks). Now, they’re adding an eight-time Pro Bowler and all-time great pass rusher to the rush.
