Bills' Von Miller Suspended 4 Games for Violating NFL's Personal Conduct Policy

The NFL suspended Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller and Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. four and five games, respectively, for violating its personal conduct policy.

In November, Miller turned himself in to authorities in Texas after he was charged with third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman. He called the situation "overblown" and "100 percent false" in December.

Hall landed on the commissioner's exempt list in August after he was charged with first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence.

Miller maintained in July that "no charges were ever filed and the case is closed," per the Associated Press' John Wawrow. His agent, Joby Branion, repeated in a statement to Wawrow that the case had been closed.

According to the police affidavit, the woman alleged Miller had put his hands on her neck twice and pulled out some of her hair. She said he had also pushed her, which caused her to fall into a chair.

The NFL declined to place the eight-time Pro Bowler on the commissioner's exempt list as his case was unfolding. He appeared in each of the Bills' first four games, collecting five total tackles and three sacks.

Hall, meanwhile, has been ineligible to suit up for Cleveland, so the second-round pick is yet to make his pro debut.

Hall's fiancée initially alleged she and Hall had gotten into an argument at a home they share on Aug. 12. He allegedly dragged her outside and down their driveway. Later on, after she re-entered the home, she said Hall held a gun to her head.

Lynna Lai of 3News reported on Aug. 21 the woman had recanted the portion of her story about the handgun. Hall subsequently pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct.

Since he was on the commissioner's exempt list, Hall's suspension is issued retroactively. He's eligible to rejoin the team on Oct. 7 ahead of Cleveland's Week 6 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Miller's suspension is more straightforward. He won't return to the field until Week 9 when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins.
