Johnson tallied 65 total tackles (42 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and added five passes defended with two interceptions plus one forced fumble over 12 regular-season games in 2024. The 28-year-old missed time 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.

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. 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 for the Bills 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.

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. Johnson began the week as a full practice participant but was limited Thursday, 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 for 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.

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

Johnson suffered a neck injury in the first quarter of Sunday's wild-card game against the Broncos and is questionable to return. The positive news is that Johnson cleared the concussion protocol following a helmet-to-helmet hit that left him down on the field for several moments. The veteran slot corner is arguably the team's most important member of the secondary, so his return -- either this game or in the divisional round, should the Bills advance -- looms large in the team's quest for its first Super Bowl title.
