Take a deep breath, Bills Mafia — Von Miller says everything is going to be okay after undergoing season-ending ACL surgery … sending a heartfelt message to his fans from the hospital bed.
Miller posted a video shortly after the bad news broke … saying, “Yerrr! Bills Mafia, what’s good? I’m good man. I’ma be right back, man.”
“Mentally, I couldn’t be in a better spot and I think that is the majority of it. Don’t feel sorry for me, don’t say I hate it for you — none of that stuff ’cause I am good!”
The Bills announced on Wednesday that the star pass rusher — who signed a 6-year, $120 million contract this offseason — is sidelined for the rest of the season due to the injury … but Miller is already looking forward to getting back to 100%.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to show my teammates how tough I am, how hard I work, and how important that this means to me. I love you guys, and I appreciate you guys. All love and respect. Don’t blink, baby!”
Miller suffered the injury against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day … but the initial belief was that the 33-year-old avoided significant knee injury.
According to head coach Sean McDermott, Von checked in to the hospital for exploratory surgery … but doctors told the two-time Super Bowl Champ that he tore his ACL instead.
McDermott called the injury a “very unfortunate situation” for Miller and their team … adding he knows how much #40 will miss being out there with the guys.
“We look forward to getting him back,” McDermott said … adding, “we’re certainly thinking about him.”
