The Titans take a break: Von Miller of the Bills is suspended for four games by the NFL

The Tennessee Titans are in their bye week, but have already received some encouraging news that will impact their upcoming schedule.

While the team is optimistic that both DT Jeffery Simmons and QB Will Levis could return from injury, they learned today that they will not face one of the game's best passers in the Oct. 20 game against the Buffalo Bills.

On Tuesday, the NFL suspended Bills edge rusher Von Miller for four games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The 35-year-old Miller may not be the same player he was before he tore his ACL in 2022, but he has already shown an uptick in performance this season after a subpar 2023, recording sacks in the Bills' first three games.

That's good news for an offense that's struggling to allow pressure in 2024. Yes, they were better against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, but it's likely that Levis will be at the helm and that changes the pressure dynamic. Backup Mason Rudolph looked like a veteran and didn't let the pressure generated overwhelm him, something Levis hasn't mastered so far.
