Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller has been suspended four games without pay for violating the NFL’s code of conduct, the league announced Tuesday.

“Miller is eligible for reinstatement on October 28 following the Bills’ Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks,” the NFL said in a statement released by Buffalo.

The league did not elaborate on the reason for the suspension, but it comes after an alleged domestic dispute in Texas in 2023. CNN has contacted the NFL for clarification.

CNN has also reached out to Miller’s agent and the Bills for comment.

According to a Dallas Police Department affidavit last year, Miller was accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. The alleged victim told police that Miller ordered her to leave their Dallas apartment after a verbal argument.

As she was gathering personal items to leave, according to the affidavit, Miller “walked up to her and began pushing and shoving her while at the same time telling her to get out of the unit.”

She also told officers that Miller twice “applied pressure” with his hand around her neck even though she could still breathe. Miller allegedly left the apartment after the woman said she wanted to call the police. The police report states that an officer observed “minor abrasions on the plaintiff’s left hand and bruising on her neck, injuries consistent with pressure applied to her neck.” Bruises were later also noted on her stomach and left arm .

Miller, originally from DeSoto, Texas, was in his home state during the Bills’ bye week when police responded to the alleged incident on November 29, 2023. Miller turned himself in to Glenn Heights police and was released on $5,000 bail.

At the time, Miller said the domestic violence allegations against him were “100% false” and “totally false and disproportionate.”

CNN affiliate WFAA reported that the news reached Miller’s girlfriend via text message in late 2023 and she said, “Things were taken completely out of context. This is truly outrageous!” She called the incident “a huge misunderstanding” and a ” verbal disagreement”.

According to the AP, no charges have been filed against Miller and the 35-year-old said in July that he hoped to “just move forward and focus solely on football.”

Miller has continued to play for the Bills since the arrest and has appeared in all four games so far this season. The two-time Super Bowl champion, one of the NFL’s most fearsome pass rushers of the last decade, signed a six-year, $120 million contract with the Bills in 2022.
