The Denver Broncos have confirmed that star edge rusher Von Miller will practice and play despite a domestic violence charge. The news was confirmed by Broncos General Manager John Elway, who said that the team has been in contact with the NFL and is aware of the situation.
Miller was arrested in August on a charge of misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace. He was accused of pushing and grabbing a woman, and then refusing to leave her home. The charge carries a potential sentence of up to 18 months in jail.
Elway said the team has been in contact with the league and is aware of the situation. He said that the team will continue to monitor the situation and will take appropriate action if necessary.
The NFL has yet to make a decision on Miller’s status, but Elway said that he expects Miller to practice and play until the league makes a decision. Elway also said that the team is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all players, coaches, and staff.
Miller has been a key part of the Broncos’ defense since he was drafted in 2011. He has been named to six Pro Bowls and was named the Super Bowl 50 MVP.
The league has yet to make a decision on Miller’s status, but Elway’s comments make it clear that the team is standing behind their star player. It is unclear what the outcome of the case will be, but it is clear that the Broncos are committed to supporting Miller during this difficult time.
