The Cardinals released Johnson, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was one of cuts from the roster. The Cardinals added wide receiver Malachi Dupre and defensive tackle Pasoni Tasini from their practice squad.

Johnson inked a contract with the Cardinals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Budda Baker (undisclosed) undergoing an MRI on his knee following Sunday's game against the Chiefs, the Cardinals added a pair of cornerbacks to the secondary in Johnson and David Amerson. Johnson has an extensive history of playing time, appearing in 15 games last year, and could be an option to receive some snaps on defense in the future.

The Giants inked Johnson to a contract Friday, the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has a long tenure as a contributor in the NFL, playing 673 snaps on defense for the Bills last season. He will need to perform well in camp to receive snaps again this fall, but Johnson does have experience on his side.

Johnson finished his first year in Buffalo with 53 tackles -- the second most of his career -- seven passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. "I told my mom and my coach, I've been in the league six years, by far it has been the best year of my career," Johnson told Jadon Ceravolo of BuffaloBills.com.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is now an unrestricted free agent, though he's indicated he wants to stay with Buffalo and coach Sean McDermott, whom he played for when McDermott was the defensive coordinator in Carolina. Johnson served as an occasional starter when E.J. Gaines was working through various injuries, though at 28 and with an average skill set he's probably best suited as a No. 3 or No. 4 corner. That said, he's proven valuable to the Bills in that role.

Johnson (knee) practiced fully Wednesday after missing Sunday's win over the Colts, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like the reserve cornerback will be able to return for Week 15 when the Bills take on the Dolphins in a crucial game for both teams. Johnson will help the Buffalo defense deal with some of Miami's three-wide sets.

Johnson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was limited in practice each day this week after injuring his knee against New England last Sunday. Now that he's been ruled out, look for Lafayette Pitts to take over as the team's No. 3 cornerback.

Johnson (knee) was limited all week in practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The limited practices all week bodes well for Johnson's chances of gearing up Sunday. As the No. 3 corner, Johnson may not have many chances to make plays in Week 14 against the Colts, who rank 27th in the league in pass attempts.

Johnson, who injured his knee during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

This signifies the injury isn't too severe. Johnson is only the No. 3 cornerback, but his presence would take on added importance Sunday vs. the Colts if starter Tre'Davious White can't make it back from a concussion.

Johnson injured his knee in Week 13's matchup against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Lafayette Pitts replaced Johnson as the Bills' slot cornerback after Johnson was able to leave the field under his own power, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports. Buffalo is suddenly thin in the secondary with injuries to Johnson and cornerback Tre'Davious White, who took a shot to the head from Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in the fourth quarter and is now in the concussion protocol.

Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will continue in a reserve role since E.J. Gaines (shoulder) is also active Sunday. However, he's logged over 45 defensive snaps four times this season, bringing him near fantasy relevance.
