Von Miller went to the Denver Broncos' locker room in the second quarter against the New York Jets, and is being evaluated for a possible concussion, according to reports. Miller has been ruled questionable to return by the Broncos.
Miller reportedly suffered the injury after taking a big hit from Jets running back Chris Ivory. NFL.com’s Judy Battista noted that Miller dropped his head after the hit.
Miller had been leading the Broncos with four tackles before he left. His presence could be a significant in a game that Denver isn't dominating like many expected them to. The Broncos trailed 7-3 until Peyton Manning threw two touchdown passes late in the first half to give his team a 17-7 lead.
The Broncos' defense is stifling the Jets so far. New York has just 69 total yards going into halftime, with just 4 yards rushing. Geno Smith has played well, relatively, going 10-for-14 for 69 yards and a score.
