Buffalo Bills star linebacker Von Miller is officially listed as questionable for the team's Week 5 matchup in London.
But the eight-time Pro Bowler appears confident he will suit up for the highly anticipated game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"I think it’s a safe bet that I’ll be out there," Miller told reporters in London this week. He added that there is a "94½ %" chance he will play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Miller was a limited participant in both Wednesday and Thursday's practices. He suffered an ACL injury in November during a game against the Detroit Lions that required surgery.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was not quite as confident Miller would be on the field this weekend but seemed pleased the edge rusher made it through practice.
"I think the biggest thing is the first day when you're coming off an injury like that, you want to get through it," McDermott said. "I applaud him for making it through that first practice because that's a milestone in and of itself because of the months and months and the hours of rehab. So, I think that's really where we're at. I think day two was better than day one. He looked like he was getting more comfortable."

Even if Miller is able to return on a limited basis, his presence would likely provide a boost to Buffalo's defense.
