GM says Bills to let Von Miller 'legal process play out' - ESPN
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Von Miller is at the Bills' facility and will be available for Sunday's game at the Chiefs amid an investigation into the alleged assault of a pregnant woman last week, general manager Brandon Beane said Wednesday.
«We weren't there. We're not the investigators,» Beane said. «We don't, obviously, you know, we had our conversations with Von and understood what he believes happened and so, from that standpoint we can't get into it. It's an open investigation, and so we'll just, we'll let the legal process play out, and he'll participate like normal in practice.»
Beane also said that the team has been in «constant communication» with the NFL and that the Bills do not anticipate that Miller will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list. He said that they would allow the investigation to play out and would follow the lead of the NFL.
«Anytime it's an ongoing investigation, if something was uncovered that the commissioner does have that, at any point, if he feels there was something that, hey, this is, this doesn't look good or something like that, if at any point that, they could,» Beane said. «But with our knowledge of what we have today, we don't expect that.»
Miller, 34, turned himself in Thursday to the Glenn Heights, Texas, Police Department in suburban Dallas after an arrest warrant was issued by the Dallas Police Department on a charge of assault on a pregnant woman.
He faces a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman, which is punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He was booked into the DeSoto Tri-City Jail on a $5,000 bond Thursday and released a short time later.
Beane said that the team found out about the allegations and warrant Thursday, around the
