The Bills released Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Gardner-Johnson missed the Bills' Week 8 36-10 win over the Ravens due to a one-game suspension. Having just been reinstated Monday, the 28-year-old's inconsistent play with the team was the leading cause of his release, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The seventh-year pro will look elsewhere for another shot at playing this season.
