The NFL issued opposing verdicts in the case of Von Miller and Brandon McManus

The NFL issued opposing verdicts in the case of Von Miller and Brandon McManus

A day after former Denver Broncos running back Brandon McManus avoided a potential suspension, former Denver Pass running back Von Miller received a suspension.

The NFL investigated the incident in which a pair of flight attendants sued McManus, accusing him of sexual assault on a Jacksonville Jaguars flight to London in 2023. The league determined McManus would not be suspended.

“There was insufficient evidence to support a conclusion that a breach of the Personal Conduct Code had occurred. “As always, if new evidence is presented, it will be taken into consideration,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said, via Mark Maske of Washington Post Office.

McManus remains a free agent.

A day later, the NFL suspended Miller for four games for violating the league’s rules of conduct. This suspension was apparently in response to Miller being accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend in November 2023. Miller will be eligible to play again for the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

Miller and McManus were members of the Broncos from 2014-2021, helping the team win Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season.
