The 2022 NFL season has been marred with a multitude of injuries across the league.
Fewer teams have been afflicted with more injuries than the Buffalo Bills, who have lost yet another player for the rest of the season.
This is now the second straight year the #Bills lost a key defensive player on Thanksgiving: Tre'Davious White tore his ACL last year, Von Miller tears his ACL this year.

Von Miller, who was acquired by the Bills in the offseason, tore his ACL on Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately for the Bills, he will be out for the rest of the season.
While the Bills have sported one of the NFL’s best defenses this year, they will surely miss Miller, an 11-year NFL veteran.
Miller’s Defensive Veteran Presence
Miller has been one of the best defensive players in the NFL ever since he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2011.
This former number two overall pick has several accomplishments under his belt, including Defensive Rookie of the Year, Super Bowl MVP, and a two-time Super Bowl champion.
The veteran presence of someone who has the success of Miller cannot be understated.
Having the experience of winning two Super Bowls is the kind of player who can energize and help grow the passions of young, budding stars.
While Miller will still be a presence in the locker room, he will be unable to play for the remainder of this season.
The Bills are slated to make a deep playoff run this season, on the heels of brilliant defensive play, alongside the growing prowess of quarterback Josh Allen.
Will they be able to overcome injuries, and hoist the Lombardi at the end of the season?
