News

  • Ready for Week 12

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Johnson has cleared concussion protocol. The defensive back was a full participant Friday and is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: This is a positive development for the Bills, as they have a depleted secondary these days and the versatile Johnson typically plays close to all the defensive snaps. He'll be a main factor as Buffalo attempts to slow down a potent Eagles offensive attack.

    Published: Fri, Nov 24 at 12:04pm by Rotowire.com

  • Upgraded to limited

    Johnson (concussion) was listed as limited for Thursday's walkthrough practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson suffered a concussion last Sunday and was unable to participate during Wednesday's walkthrough, so it's a step in the right direction for him. He still may be facing an uphill battle to suit up Sunday against the Eagles, but his chances of playing would increase if he was able to log a full practice Friday.

  • Missing Wednesday's walkthrough

    Johnson (concussion) did not participate at Buffalo's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson sustained a concussion during the Bills' win versus the Jets in Week 11, and now he's missing the first practice of the new week. Most players who have been diagnosed with concussions in 2023 have gone on to sit out at least one game, so it would seem he's trending toward being sidelined in Week 12.

  • Diagnosed with concussion

    Johnson won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Johnson appeared to sustain his concussion on a collision with Taylor Rapp (neck) in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup, and Johnson won't be available during the second half. He'll have to clear the league's concussion protocol if he hopes to suit up next Sunday against Philadelphia.

  • Records first sack in 2023

    Johnson had six tackles (four solo) including a sack in Thursday's 24-18 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Johnson had his first sack since the 2021 season Thursday. He's up to 41 tackles in seven games this season, third behind Terrel Bernard (76) and Jordan Poyer (42). Johnson has taken more responsibility in the Bills' secondary, with Tre'Davious White (Achilles) out for the year and Kaiir Elam struggling in his limited play. Johnson will look to help Buffalo build off its momentum in Week 9 against the Bengals.

  • Massive tackle total in win

    Johnson recorded 15 tackles (nine solo) while also deflecting a pass in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Johnson was all over the field during Sunday Night Football, registering a season-high 15 takedowns, almost doubling the 16 tackles he had produced over the first five contests. Additionally, he was able to break up what would've been a game-winning touchdown to Giants tight end Darren Waller to end the game. Johnson continues to prove why he's one of Buffalo's top options in the secondary.

  • Participates in full

    Johnson (hip) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Johnson seems to have moved past his hip issue and looks ready for this Sunday's contest against Miami. The 27-year-old corner has recorded nine total tackles and one forced fumble through the first three weeks of the season.

  • Doesn't practice in full

    Johnson (hip) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson handled his typical workload in Sunday's win over the Commanders, so it's hard to say how severe the injury could be. The 27-year-old will try and ramp up his activity to a full participant in practice Thursday, ahead of the team's Week 4 divisional clash with the Dolphins.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Johnson (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

    Analysis: Johnson has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for Sunday's regular-season finale versus New England. The cornerback suffered the head injury in Monday's contest versus the Bengals before the game was ultimately suspended. Johnson will return to his prominent role in Buffalo's secondary ahead of the postseason.

  • Exits MNF with injury

    Johnson was removed for Monday's game against the Bengals to be evaluated for a head injury.

    Analysis: Johnson went down on the first series of the game before he was taken to the medical tent on Buffalo's sideline, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. The slot cornerback then went to the locker room to undergo further evaluation for this injury. In his stead, Siran Neal has stepped in as Buffalo's nickel cornerback, according to Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard.

  • Amasses eight tackles

    Johnson recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Johnson never left the field when Buffalo was on defense this past weekend against New York, a contributing factor into his eight stops on the day. The 26-year-old will likely continue operating in his prominent secondary role when the Bills host the Dolphins on Saturday.

  • Logs eight tackles Week 11

    Johnson recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-23 victory versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Johnson notched his most prolific tackling performance since his nine-stop performance Week 1. The 26-year-old cornerback has also played at least 93 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps eight times this season, including Sunday, as starting cornerback Tre'Davious White was ruled a healthy scratch for the third straight game since coming off IR in early November. Johnson now has 60 tackles (41 solo), four passes defended and an interception over 10 contests in 2022, though his playing time…read more

  • Records six tackles in loss

    Johnson tallied six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Johnson was on the field for the majority of his team's defensive snaps (94 percent), and he continues to rack up tackles. He's totaled 29 tackles (23 solo), three defended passes and one interception over his last five matchups as a player that's serving as a main cog in Buffalo's banged-up secondary.

  • Seven stops in win

    Johnson collected seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 27-17 win versus the Packers.

    Analysis: The fifth-year cornerback logged his most tackles in a game since the Bills' Week 1 over the Rams. With Tre'Davious White (knee) on the reserve/PUP list over the first eight weeks of the season, Johnson has recorded 42 tackles, three passes defended and an interception while playing the bulk of Buffalo's defensive snaps. However, his playing time could take a slight step back after White was activated to the 53-man roster Tuesday, though the Bills usually figure out a way to get the versatile…read more

  • Steps up once again

    Johnson led the Bills with six tackles during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Although Johnson isn't really a starter in name -- even amid all the injuries the Bills are working through -- he's versatile enough that he plays like one, seeing 100 percent of the defensive snaps. Johnson is always a sneaky source of IDP production, posting 76 and 94 tackles the last two seasons, and he might even see a temporary bump from that level given that the Bills are currently depleted in the secondary.

  • Posts big Week 1 numbers

    Johnson logged nine tackles and one pass defensed in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: While not a starter in name, Johnson is one of the team's key defenders and ended up playing 96 percent of the defensive snaps in the win. He'll likely see the field with regularity due to his ability to play several spots on the defense, which has already come in handy since the Bills will play at least the first four weeks without star corner Tre'Davious White (knee). Johnson posted 76 tackles and 3.0 sacks last season.

  • First INT of season

    Johnson (concussion) recorded four solo tackles while also intercepting a pass in the 45-17 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: After clearing concussion protocol prior to the game, Johnson intercepted his first pass since his historic divisional-round 101-yard pick-six against the Ravens last January. The 25-year-old is an extremely valuable part of the Buffalo defense, playing an important role alongside star corner Tre'Davious White, which has translated to modest fantasy value consisting of 44 tackles, six passes defensed, one forced fumble and Sunday's interception.

  • Quick return to action

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Johnson, who left last week's loss to the Jaguars due to a concussion, has cleared the protocol, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: That means Johnson will be back on the field this week to serve in his valuable third-cornerback role as the Bills try to get back in the win column following a humiliating loss to the Jaguars. The Bills are working through some injuries -- the big one on defense being Tremaine Edmunds, who is listed as out due to a hamstring injury -- so having Johnson and his playmaking ability out there will surely benefit the league's best scoring defense as the Bills take on the Jets.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Johnson has cleared the concussion protocol, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson hasn't yet been officially cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Jets, but it looks like the cornerback is now trending in the right direction. He's served as Buffalo's primary slot corner this season.

  • Back on practice field

    Johnson (concussion) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson is further along in the protocol than teammate Zack Moss, who also suffered a concussion in Sunday's major upset loss to the Jaguars and wasn't able to practice at all Wednesday. As for Johnson, this should give him enough time to get back in action Sunday against the Jets, assuming no setbacks.

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Jacksonville due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Johnson suffered the injury early in first quarter of the team's game and was evaluated for a head injury. He has served as the team's primary slot corner, so his loss will be significant to the Bills' secondary.

  • Being evaluated for a head injury

    Johnson is being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Sunday's contest against the Jaguars early.

    Analysis: Johnson left Sunday's contest in the first quarter and is questionable to return. If he is unable to return, then Siran Neal will likely have to step into the slot corner role for the remainder of the contest.

  • Big game follows big contract

    Johnson led the Bills with 12 total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: Even though Johnson is a reserve cornerback in name, the Bills play a style of defense that he rarely leaves the field, especially against passing teams like the Chiefs. With 27 tackles, five passes defensed, a sack and a forced fumble, Johnson -- who signed a three-year contract extension this weekend -- can help those in IDP leagues. Johnson was on the field for 85 of 86 defensive plays Sunday after missing last week's game due to a groin injury.

  • Inks three-year extension

    Johnson signed a three-year contract extension with the Bills on Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson started each of the first three games of the season and recorded 15 tackles (13 solo), one sack, four pass defenses and a forced fumble during that time. He missed last week's contest due to a groin injury but will be active for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City. The 2018 fourth-rounder is now under contract with Buffalo through the 2024 campaign.

  • Ready for Sunday Night Football

    Johnson (groin) practiced on a full basis for a third straight day Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Johnson missed last week's game against Houston, but as one of the league's better non-starting cornerbacks, his presence is a big boost as the Bills try to come up with a way to stop the high-powered Chiefs offense after failing miserably in two attempts last season.

  • Practices fully Wednesday

    Johnson (groin) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Johnson was unavailable for last week's win over the Texans due to his groin injury, but it appears as though he'll be back in action Sunday against Kansas City. The 25-year-old has totaled 15 tackles (13 solo), a sack, a forced fumble and five pass defenses across his first three appearances of the year.

  • Out for Week 4

    Johnson is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston due to a groin injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The writing was on the wall for Johnson's absence when the Bills elevated Cam Lewis from the practice squad Saturday. Lewis and Siran Neal are expected to fill in some of the void left by key injuries to the Buffalo secondary, with Johnson and Jordan Poyer (ankle) both sitting this one out.

  • Questionable for Week 4

    Johnson (groin) did not practice for the second straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Normally two straight DNPs to end the week would have a player ruled out for a Sunday contest, but it looks like the Bills will leave the door a crack open for Johnson to at least test out the injury pregame. With Jordan Poyer (ankle) already ruled out, the Bills have some issues in their secondary. Fortunately, they get a green opposing quarterback in Houston's Davis Mills, who will be making his first NFL road start.

  • Dicey for Week 4

    Johnson did not practice Thursday due to a groin injury.

    Analysis: Johnson went from limited Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, which isn't a great sign, though he'll get one more chance to practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Johnson is one of the more IDP friendly non-starters in the league, with 15 tackles, a sack, five passes defensed and a forced fumble through three games.

  • Productive as depth option

    Johnson has 11 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed and a forced fumble through two games.

    Analysis: Even though he's not listed as a starter, Johnson has proven to be Mr. Versatile and is out there in most packages. He's also proven to be a big-play guy in his young career. With fellow defensive backs Dane Jackson and Levi Wallace both questionable this week with knee injuries, Johnson should continue to be a counted-on member of the Buffalo defense. Johnson's 94 tackles, seven passes defensed, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in 2019 shows just how much box-score filling he…read more

  • Listed as full

    Johnson (hand) is listed as a full participant Thursday on the team's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: The Bills did not practice Thursday, but the full designation for Johnson following a limited practice Wednesday indicates the odds are good he'll practice fully Friday. The fourth-year corner enters the 2021 season as a depth man who should see the field frequently due to his ability to cover the slot and make big plays.

  • Back to work with limitations

    Johnson (hand) was back at practice Wednesday sporting a red no-contact jersey, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was said to be moving around quite a bit during practice, so with an extra week to prepare for the opener vs. the Steelers, we imagine the Bills are planning on having their big-play reserve (but highly utilized) cornerback ready to go.

  • Out with hand injury

    Johnson has a hand injury and is between day-to-day and week-to-week in terms of a return timeline, coach Sean McDermott told Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site.

    Analysis: The Bills are one of the NFL's stronger teams, but they are currently going through a rough stretch on the health front, as several key players are either injured or in the COVID protocols. As for Johnson, this still doesn't appear to be anything that will threaten too much of his season, which he'll enter as the third corner behind Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.

  • Provides game-changing play in win

    Johnson tallied six tackles and returned an interception 101 yards for a touchdown Saturday in the Bills' 17-3 win over the Ravens in the divisional round.

    Analysis: With the Bills leading 10-3 and Ravens threatening for the game-tying score with less than a minute remaining in third quarter, Johnson stepped in to provide the top highlight of the night. After going undetected in coverage by quarterback Lamar Jackson, Johnson deftly snuck in front of tight end Mark Andrews near the goal line to nab Jackson's pass, then sprinted untouched 101 yards to the opposite end zone to tie the NFL postseason record for the longest interception return.

  • All clear to face Broncos

    Johnson (concussion) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: The third-year man out of Weber State earned his first NFL touchdown during Week 14, providing a 51-yard pick-six in the first quarter of a 26-15 win over Pittsburgh. Johnson was subsequently pulled from the game due to a concussion, but he has since proven capable of recuperating on a short week. It appears with a full session in hand, Johnson will be clear to face Drew Lock and the Broncos on Saturday.

  • Logs limited session

    Johnson (concussion) was a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Johnson left this last Sunday's win over the Steelers with a concussion. It's encouraging that the 24-year-old cornerback returned to the field just two days later, providing a chance to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before Saturday's matchup against the Broncos. Otherwise, Josh Norman figures to absorb some of Johnson's workload.

  • Out for rest of SNF

    Johnson has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Johnson was the star of the first half, as his pick-six sparked what had been a lifeless Bills team to that point and led to 23 unanswered points and counting. Johnson leaves the contest with seven combined tackles to go with his interception. He'll have one less day to get better, as the Bills face the Broncos on Saturday in Week 15 action.

  • Evaluated for head injury

    Johnson is being evaluated for a head injury and his return to Sunday's game against the Steelers is questionable.

    Analysis: Johnson made his mark on the game before getting injured, scoring an interception touchdown just before halftime. Siran Neal steps into Johnson's spot as the nickel cornerback.

  • Plays every defensive snap

    Johnson had nine total tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Johnson plays a lot for someone who's the fourth cornerback on the depth chart, as he's been on the field for 56 percent or more of the defensive snaps in every game this season. Sunday, it would have been difficult to pull him out with the defensive back unit depleted due to COVID-19 protocols, and the third-year corner delivered his best game of the season. Heading into the bye, Johnson sits at 62 tackles, two passes defensed, a sack and a forced fumble.

  • Another big tackle day

    Johnson recorded eight tackles during Monday's loss to the Chiefs, tied for second most on the team.

    Analysis: Johnson sure does pick up a lot of tackles for a third cornerback, as he's second on the team with 42 stops on the season. As we know, however, IDP numbers don't always equate with strong play and sometimes means your guy is simply allowing too many passes to be caught. In Johnson's case, he didn't even start Monday's game after temporarily losing his No. 3 spot, but he ended up seeing 86 percent of the defensive snaps after his replacement, Cam Lewis, got hurt early in the contest.

  • Giving it a go

    Johnson (groin) will play in Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier that Johnson was expected to suit up in the contest after logging a full practice Friday, so this news isn't surprising. The 2018 fourth-round pick has played at least 76 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the first two games, so he'll likely be in line for a similar role for Week 3.

    Analysis: Johnson put forth a 'DNP/LP/FP' practice slate this week, so it looks as though he's at least trending in the right direction to suit up. In the event that Johnson were forced to miss any time, Siran Neal would likely see the opportunity to handle increased defensive snaps.

  • Misses Wednesday's session

    Johnson missed practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.

    Analysis: Johnson logged more defensive snaps (57) in Week 2 compared to the 48 he saw in Week 1, so he either suffered the injury late in Sunday's win over the Dolphins or played through it. For the second straight game, the team's No. 2 cornerback recorded five tackles. We'll see if he can get in some practice participation Thursday or Friday ahead of the Week 3 tilt against the Rams.

  • May have smaller role

    Johnson (undisclosed) could see less playing time following the offseason addition of Josh Norman, Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com reports.

    Analysis: Tre'Davious White is entrenched as the team's top corner while Levi Wallace is back after starting all 16 games, so Norman's veteran presence could reduce Johnson's role. The 2018 fourth-round pick appeared in 12 games last year and had 50 tackles (39 solo), one sack, five passes defensed and one forced fumble.

  • Leaves Saturday's playoff game

    Johnson left Saturday's loss to the Texans with an undisclosed injury and did not return, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Johnson isn't a starter, but his loss had a big effect on the game, as starter Levi Wallace was already an inactive. By the end of the game when the Texans were in catch-up mode, the Bills were down to depth corners. Houston started to get a bunch of chunk plays, and while Siran Neal had a couple of big plays in the second half, a couple of his mistakes proved especially costly. Johnson finishes his second season with 50 tackles in the regular season to go with five passes defensed, a sack and…read more

  • Big part of Thanksgiving Day win

    Johnson logged eight tackles and one pass defensed during Thursday's win over Dallas.

    Analysis: Johnson also saw an 85 percent snap share, the second time he's hit that level in the last three games as he shows he's further and further removed from a hamstring injury that messed up the early part of his season. Johnson isn't a starter in name, but he's needed in a number of packages the Buffalo defense runs, so his good play should keep him on the field. On the season, the second-year Weber State product has 30 tackles, four passes defensed and one sack.

  • Highest PT share of season

    Johnson played 61 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Washington, logging one tackle and one pass defensed.

    Analysis: The box score doesn't tell the whole story, as the second-year player had some big plays in the fourth quarter as the Bills finally pulled away from their pesky opponent. With Johnson finally back to full health -- he missed four games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury -- and Kevin Johnson limited with a knee injury, Johnson seems secure in his No. 3 cornerback role again, where he mainly mans the slot.
