Johnson (head) has returned to action in Sunday's contest versus New England, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Johnson briefly left the game in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a head injury, but he appears to be all good. The cornerback is back in his primary role in Buffalo's secondary.
Johnson (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. Johnson suffered a blow to the head while trying to make a tackle in the fourth quarter, forcing him to exit the game. The cornerback compiled two total tackles (one solo) and a fumble recovery, which resulted in a touchdown, before leaving the game.
Johnson logged eight tackles (five solo) and a pass deflection during the Bills' win over the Lions on Sunday. Johnson had another solid outing Sunday as he finished second on the team in tackles behind Terrel Bernard's 10. This was the third time this season that Johnson managed to rack up eight tackles in just 10 games played and will look to keep producing during the team's Week 16 matchups versus the Patriots.
Johnson recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. The slot cornerback also played on 71 of 72 defensive snaps. Johnson has been on the field for at least 86 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last eight games he's appeared in. On the year, the veteran has 50 tackles (32 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble.
Johnson posted six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's Week 13 35-10 win against the 49ers. Johnson tied for second on Buffalo with his six stops. He's reached that mark in five of his eight contests on the campaign. Johnson missed four games early in the season due to a forearm injury, but he appears to be back to full health now.
Johnson finished with six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs. The cornerback also played on all 52 defensive snaps, as he's been at 86 percent or above on defensive snaps in six straight games. Johnson has 37 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble this season.
Johnson logged three solo tackles and returned an interception for a 23-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts. Johnson put the Bills on the board early in the first quarter, when he picked off Joe Flacco on a pass intended for Josh Downs, and Johnson was able to take it to the house for his first pick-six since the 2020 regular season. In his five outings since returning from a four-game absence due to a forearm injury, Johnson has logged 30 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one forced fumble.
Johnson recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-10 win at Seattle. Sunday's game was Johnson's third in a row with at least seven total tackles as he continues to play a near-every down role for the Bills. He remains on the IDP map ahead of a Week 9 contest versus the Dolphins.
Johnson recorded eight tackles (four solo) and one interception in Buffalo's win over the Jets on Monday night. It was Johnson's first game back after suffering a Week 1 forearm injury. Johnson logged 98 percent of the defensive snaps and secured a game-sealing interception of Aaron Rodgers with 1:52 left on the clock and the Bills leading 23-20 in the fourth quarter.
