Bills running back Cook out vs. Jets, who get back linebacker Mosley and offensive tackle Moses

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is out against the New York Jets because of a toe injury

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • Associated Press

Low volume in Week 5 loss Johnson carried three times for 15 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

Impact Johnson was out there for a season high 36 percent of the offensive snaps, but with the Bills playing catch-up for most of the day, there wasn't much room for change-of-pace carries. Johnson remains ahead of Ray Davis in the pecking order behind starter James Cook, as Davis played only two offensive snaps Sunday. That said, the No. 2 spot in Buffalo is strictly an insurance or deep reserve play, as Cook is serving mostly as a bell-cow back and is even getting goal-line carries this season. Of the team's eight rushing touchdowns this season, Cook has four, Josh Allen has two, and Johnson and Davis have one apiece.

Hits pay dirt in win Johnson rushed three times for 18 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Johnson ended up having his best statistical day of the young season Monday, seeing season highs in snap percentage (27), rushing yards (18), and targets (3). With that said, the veteran's statistics were not overly impressive and his increased usage was likely the result of what was a blowout over the Jaguars. Johnson's touchdown grab was his first trip to the end zone in 2024, yet he likely won't earn many scoring opportunities while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby are healthy this season. Johnson remains off the fantasy radar as the Bills visit the Ravens in Week 4.

Two touches to Davis' 10 Johnson rushed once for minus-1 yard and added one catch for 33 yards on two targets in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Johnson watched James Cook score three first-half touchdowns, while rookie Ray Davis got most of the mop-up duty with the game out of reach, finishing with nine carries to Johnson's one. While it's good that Johnson is no longer bothered by the knee injury he picked up in the season opener, he seems to have fallen to third on Buffalo's depth chart heading into a Week 3 visit from the Jaguars.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Week 2 Johnson (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Johnson exited the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals with a knee issue, but the running back was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through and will be available to face Miami. He's thus slated to continue to see complementary work, along with Ray Davis, behind top back James Cook. In that capacity, Johnson's fantasy upside is limited.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for limited practice Johnson (knee) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johnson was forced out of Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals due to the knee injury, though his ability to practice in some fashion two days later suggests he's not dealing with a major injury. However, with the Bills facing a quick turnaround for Week 2 with a Thursday night game against the Dolphins, it's unclear if Johnson will heal quickly enough to make himself available. If Johnson is inactive Thursday, rookie Ray Davis could notice a slight uptick in snaps as the clear No. 2 option behind lead back James Cook.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Monday Johnson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson exited Buffalo's Week 1 affair with a knee injury, but it appears he still has a chance to suit up Thursday night against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old running back's practice participation will be something to monitor as the week progresses. If he's unable to go in Week 2, James Cook and Ray Davis are expected to assume all of Buffalo's work in the backfield.

Exits Sunday's game Johnson exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a knee injury, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Johnson carried twice for seven yards. In his absence, James Cook and Ray Davis are available to handle Buffalo's RB duties.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 53-man roster Johnson secured a spot on Buffalo's 53-man roster Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson was one of three running backs to make the team, joining starter James Cook and rookie fourth-round draft pick Ray Davis. Johnson and Davis are expected to split backup duties. They are listed at 210 and 211 pounds, respectively, so both backups are better suited for short-yardage work than the 190-pound Cook, though 237-pound quarterback Josh Allen often calls his own number in such situations.

Small role in Saturday's win Johnson carried the ball once for six yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Steelers. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Impact Johnson was and perhaps still is in the running to be James Cook's primary backup, but he hurt his hamstring in late July and missed the first preseason game, then finally returned to practice last week and played just seven snaps Saturday. Rookie Ray Davis looks like the favorite for the job now, though the Bills could mix and match when Cook needs a breather due to the differing skill sets of Johnson and Davis. It's worth noting that undrafted rookie Frank Gore ran well Saturday, logging eight carries for 41 yards, while veteran Darrynton Evans ran seven times for 37 yards.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy again Johnson (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Johnson suffered a hamstring injury during practice last month but is now healthy again. The 2019 sixth-round pick will likely serve as a backup running back and kick returner once the regular season begins.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in uniform Saturday Johnson (hamstring) wasn't in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, according to Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News.

Impact The same applies to WRs Mack Hollins (leg), Chase Claypool (toe) and Justin Shorter (knee). Johnson's next opportunity to see exhibition action will be Aug. 17 against the Steelers. Once he returns to the mix, Johnson will resume competing with Ray Davis for slotting behind top RB James Cook.

AUGUST 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with hamstring injury Johnson will miss practice Tuesday with a hamstring injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson departed Monday's practice early and was evaluated by trainers, leaving rookie Ray Davis as the most likely RB to rotate in behind James Cook with the starting offense. Johnson and Davis reportedly had a near-even split of first-team reps Sunday when Cook was absent for personal reasons, with Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic noting a slight advantage in Johnson's favor. Missed time due to a hamstring injury could improve Davis' odds of taking over the No. 2 RB role that Johnson handled late last season.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits practice injured Johnson left Monday's practice early after an apparent injury, Alex Brasky of the Batavia Daily News reports.

Impact Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports that Johnson and rookie Ray Davis had a "pretty close to even split" of first-team reps Sunday when starter James Cook was absent for personal reasons. Cook returned Monday, with Johnson then suffering an apparent lower-body injury not long after.

Six free agents Bills should target after their roster shakeup

Cleared to play vs. Steelers Johnson (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's wild-card round game against the Steelers.

Impact Johnson was a limited participant in all three of Buffalo's practices heading into the postseason, but Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 reports that the running back has cleared concussion protocol. Johnson, Leonard Fournette and Latavius Murray are all options to spell starting running back James Cook, with Johnson profiling as the youngest and shiftiest of the three depth options.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tests confirm concussion Johnson (concussion) has been downgraded to out Sunday against the Dolphins.

Impact Johnson was evaluated for a head injury, and the tests revealed a concussion. He won't return to Sunday's game, so Johnson will finish the regular season with 30 carries for 132 yards, as well as seven catches on as many targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Johnson will have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Cleared to return Week 17 Johnson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Johnson practiced fully Friday to gain clearance after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He's set to return from a one-game absence and continue splitting the leftovers behind starting running back James Cook with Latavius Murray, though Buffalo's backfield could get even more crowded if the Bills elevate Leonard Fournette from the practice squad again.
