Homecoming With a Pass Rush: Von Miller Eyes His Cowboys Debut

Von Miller has spent an NFL career chasing quarterbacks. His next chase comes with a hometown jersey.

The DeSoto native is preparing to make his Cowboys debut as Dallas approaches its September 13 season opener against the New York Giants. For North Texas fans, it is a compelling reunion: an accomplished pass rusher returning to represent the team he grew up around.

The immediate question is how quickly that homecoming translates into pressure. The Cowboys expect to use Miller situationally, and his workload for the opener had not been settled in that report. His preparation has focused on building toward regular-season action after he missed much of training camp and did not play in the preseason.

That makes his first snaps worth watching closely. A well-timed rush can change a possession, and Dallas has brought Miller home to help deliver those moments.

The setting is already in place: a division opponent, a season opener and a familiar star on the helmet. Miller's next chapter is almost here.
