The Bills signed Johnson to a three-year extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Johnson (concussion) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Johnson has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is expected to play in Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Chiefs, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's status won't become official until the Bills reveal their inactives list at 5:00 p.m. ET. The All-Pro nickel cornerback will be a key part of slowing down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Sunday's home game if he does get the green light.

Johnson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was limited in practice throughout the week and has another 24-plus hours to progress through the league's concussion protocol. The Bills could really use him against Rashee Rice Sunday night.

Johnson (concussion) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Sean McDermott revealed that Johnson is progressing through concussion protocol, indicating that he was determined to have suffered a concussion after being evaluated for a head injury during Monday's 31-17 wild-card round win over the Steelers. Johnson will need to gain clearance from an independent neurotrauma consultant in order to clear the protocol and have a chance to play in the divisional round Sunday against the Chiefs, but his presence at practice Wednesday was encouraging.

Johnson (head) is being evaluated for a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a head injury in the second half against the Steelers and he is being checked out for a potential concussion. It's unclear if the cornerback will be able to return, but in the meantime, Cam Lewis will see additional usage in Buffalo's secondary.

Johnson recorded four tackles (three solo) in Sunday's win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played every defensive snap for the sixth time this season and has emerged as a full-time player for Buffalo following the season-ending torn Achilles' for Tre'Davious White earlier in the year. On the season, Johnson has 89 tackles (68 solo), three forced fumbles and seven pass breakups.

Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson popped up on the Bills' injury report Wednesday and was a limited participant in all three practices leading up to Sunday's contest. He's played every defensive snap over the past two games and has 15 tackles (11 solo) in that span as the starting cornerback alongside veteran Rasul Douglas.

Johnson was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through session due to and ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

The jack-of-all trades defender played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Kansas City, so it's perhaps a minor issue considering the Bills didn't have a full practice Wednesday where an injury might be more likely to pop up. Johnson, who had nine tackles in the Week 14 win, is expected to be tasked with trying to stop a red-hot CeeDee Lamb this week, assuming the former is able to suit up for an injury-plagued Buffalo defense.
