Veteran Miller Shows Quick Impact in Cowboys Practice Debut
Von Miller recorded a pressure during his first team-period reps at Dallas Cowboys training camp, backing up his claim that he can still get sacks easily. The 37-year-old edge rusher posted nine sacks and 36 pressures last season while playing only 37% of snaps for Washington. The Cowboys plan to manage his workload similarly, though Miller believes he can handle more.
Miller's limited workload last season with Washington — roughly 37% of snaps — still produced nine sacks and 36 pressures, numbers that suggest efficiency rather than decline. His brief appearance Thursday, approximately five team reps, aligns with Dallas's plan to preserve him for high-leverage situations rather than full-time duty.
Beyond production, Miller's value extends to the meeting room. He has a history of mentoring younger pass rushers, including Shaq Barrett, and has already built a two-year relationship with Cowboys rookies Malachi Lawrence and Donovan Ezeiruaku. His presence could accelerate their development while providing situational pass-rush depth late in games.
For a Cowboys franchise with playoff ambitions, Miller's arrival could provide the pass-rush depth needed in close contests. His efficiency at age 37 suggests he may still be a difference-maker in limited snaps, potentially influencing how other teams evaluate
