Johnson (oblique) is active ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Jets. Johnson was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after missing Buffalo's Week 5 loss to the Texans due to an oblique injury. With Johnson active in Week 6, he's expected to serve as one of the Bills' top rotational defensive tackles.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Johnson (oblique) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Johnson likely sustained this oblique injury during the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Ravens and didn't practice the entire week, so it's no surprise that he won't be suiting up in Week 5. With Johnson sidelined Sunday, expect Zion Logue to see additional reps as one of the Bills' top reserve interior defensive linemen.

Johnson (calf) was left off Buffalo's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Cardinals. Johnson sustained a calf injury during the Bills' preseason game against the Steelers, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue. The veteran defensive tackle appeared in 17 regular-season games with the Chargers last season, recording 46 total tackles and two passes defended. He's expected to serve as a rotational piece on the Bills' defensive line in his first season in Buffalo.

Johnson won't return to Saturday's preseason contest against the Steelers after suffering a calf injury. Johnson didn't log any defensive stats in the game prior to his departure. When healthy, he's slated to work in a rotational role as part of the Bills' defensive line this season.

Johnson has signed a one-year contract with the Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. As he enters his seventh season, Buffalo will be Johnson's fourth team. He recorded 46 tackles (24 solo), two passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games for the Chargers last year. The journeyman will now compete for depth reps on the interior defensive line behind DaQuan Jones and Ed Oliver in the upcoming season.
