TARON JOHNSON NEWS

Impresses again in 2024 Johnson tallied 65 total tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five passes defended, with two interceptions, and one forced fumble over 12 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The 28-year-old missed time early in the regular season after sustaining a forearm injury in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals. Despite being sidelined for five games, Johnson nabbed a career-high two interceptions in 2024, including one pick-six. He remained one of the top playmakers on Buffalo's defense, leading the team in interceptions and ranking third in passes defended. Johnson inked a three-year, $30.75 million extension with the Bills last offseason, so he's expected to stay in Buffalo for 2025. The Weber State product is likely to retain his role as the Bills' top slot corner after another productive campaign in 2024.

Ready to rock Johnson (neck/shoulder) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.

Impact Johnson was limited in Thursday's practice, but he's since resumed handling full reps and will be available Sunday versus the Chiefs. To have Johnson available is a notable boost, considering the fact that fellow starting cornerback Christian Benford (concussion/personal) is listed as questionable, and that safety Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) has been ruled out.

Practices in full Friday Bills head coach McDermott said Friday that Johnson (neck/shoulder) will be a full participant at practice, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

Impact Johnson began the week as a limited practice participant, so it's encouraging to see him upgrade to full reps for Friday's session. McDermott said Buffalo will still have to see how it goes for Johnson, as well as Matt Milano (hamstring/elbow) for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, so it's possible both are listed as 'questionable' on Friday's official injury report. Starting safety Taylor Rapp (hip/back) has been ruled out.

Limited session Thursday Johnson (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Johnson tweaked his neck during the Bills' AFC wild-card win over the Broncos, but that didn't stop him from playing against the Ravens in the divisional round. The 2018 fourth-round pick was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, so his limited participation Thursday could be to give him rest ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. Johnson has recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense across Buffalo's two playoff games.

Returns to Sunday's game Johnson (neck) has returned to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Johnson exited in the first quarter of Sunday's game to be checked for a concussion and a neck injury. The veteran corner was able to clear both evaluations and returned early in the second quarter.

Leaves game with neck injury Johnson suffered a neck injury in the first quarter of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos and is questionable to return.

Impact The positive news is that Johnson cleared the concussion protocol after being part of a nasty hit that left him down on the field for several minutes. The versatile Johnson is arguably the team's most important member of the secondary, so his return -- either this game or the next should the Bills advance -- looms large in the team's quest for its first Super Bowl victory.
