The Denver Broncos might be forced to live without Von Miller for part of the 2013 season after it was learned the star linebacker faces a four-game suspension for an unspecified league violation.
Miller -- who has appealed the ban -- used Twitter to respond Monday to the issue.
Minutes after Miller's tweet, NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah also took to Twitter to comment on the situation.
The NFLPA is working closely with @MillerLite40 to appeal his suspension. We are all very disappointed that confidentiality was breached.

I can also confirm that Von’s case does not involve the Steroids and Related Substances Policy.

Miller is a high-profile player, and any suspension that comes on grounds the NFLPA deems to be shaky will be fought with special vigor. Stay tuned.
