Broncos' Fangio: 'No Doubt' Von Miller Can Return from Injury to Play at High Level

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio is expecting big things from Von Miller this season.

Fangio told reporters on Monday that he has "no doubt" the eight-time Pro Bowler can still play at a high level after missing all of 2020 with a dislocated peroneal tendon.

Miller suffered the injury during practice on Sept. 8, six days before Denver's season-opener against the Tennessee Titans. He underwent ankle surgery on Sept. 11 and was given a four-to-six month recovery timetable.

There was speculation about Miller's future with the Broncos during the offseason, but general manager George Paton told reporters in March they wanted to bring him back.
