Bills' Taron Johnson: Will remain out
Johnson (forearm) will not play Monday against the Jaguars, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Johnson has been sidelined since suffering the injury in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals. His ability thus far to avoid IR suggests his return will come sooner rather than later but will now have to wait until at least Week 4 against the Ravens. Cam Lewis has been filling in for him in the slot corner spot and should continue to do so against Jacksonville.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Looks to avoid IR status
Head coach Sean McDermott said Johnson's forearm injury is "still new," but the hope is that he'll be back in time to avoid an injured-reserve list appearance, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson's return date is unknown, but this news does mean he'll likely be back within the next four weeks. The veteran cornerback's inactive status should continue to give more playing time to Cam Lewis in the slot corner spot, as it has in the first two weeks of play.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Ruled out for Week 2
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Johnson (forearm) will not play Thursday against the Dolphins, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson left Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals early and was unable to return. It's not clear how much time the slot cornerback may miss, but the Bills won't take any chances with Johnson on a short week. Cam Lewis took over as slot corner following Johnson's departure Sunday and will likely do so again in Miami.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Out for game

Bills' Taron Johnson: Misses Thursday's practice
Johnson sat out Thursday's practice session due to a sore quad, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Coach Sean McDermott called it more of a "preventative measure" in his comments Thursday. With the team planning on resting most of its starters in the preseason finale Saturday, the next time we see the versatile Johnson may be in Week 1 against the Cardinals. Johnson, one of the league's more underrated secondary players, appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season and posted a career-high 98 tackles, his third NFL campaign with 90-plus stops.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Earns three-year extension
The Bills signed Johnson to a three-year extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Johnson's new deal reportedly makes him the NFL's highest-paid nickelback, a deserved payday for the All-Pro. While appearing in all 17 regular-season games last year, he posted a career-high 98 total tackles. Johnson's versatility and ability to contribute as arguably the NFL's best nickel corner makes him instrumental for Buffalo's secondary, but for fantasy purposes he's a player to consider in lineups while not projecting as a must-start option in most IDP formats.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Career-best tackle total
Johnson played in all 17 regular-season games for the Bills in 2023, posting 98 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, eight passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Johnson failed to record an interception for the first time since the 2019 season, but that's splitting hairs when you consider the compilation of other stats as well as the career-high tackle total. He finished in the top 10 among cornerbacks in most scoring systems, and his versatility (he can play cornerback or safety as well as cover the slot) has proven key for a Buffalo defense that finished fourth in points allowed and ninth in yards allowed this season.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Active as expected
Johnson (concussion) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Chiefs.
Johnson was able to clear the league's concussion protocols earlier Sunday, paving the way for him to take the field for Buffalo's divisional-round clash with Kansas City. He should draw the start opposite Rasul Douglas, who's active despite a knee injury, at cornerback.
