Stevie Johnson is done for the day in Week 10 with a groin injury.
The extent is unknown, but it's a bit worrisome that Johnson was ruled out so quickly following the fourth-quarter injury. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver finishes with 48 yards on three receptions against the Steelers. The Bills' offense has been completely ineffective in Week 10 with E.J. Manuel at quarterback.

Stevie Johnson (hip) is listed as probable for Week 9 against the Chiefs.
Johnson was noticeably hobbled by the hip in last week's loss to the Saints. He still posted a respectable 7-72-1 line at less than 100 percent. Johnson has a tougher matchup this week, and Jeff Tuel could be his quarterback with Thad Lewis (ribs) doubtful. Treat Johnson as a dice-roll WR3/4.

Stevie Johnson (hip) resumed practicing Thursday, as expected.
Johnson's hip flexor injury is not a concern ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He's found some good chemistry with Thad Lewis, posting 13 catches for 133 yards and one touchdown over the last two weeks. Johnson will be a reasonable WR3 as long as Lewis (questionable, ribs) suits up.

Stevie Johnson (hip) did not practice Wednesday.
Johnson told reporters he'll return to practice Thursday, likely on a limited basis, and will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He's a WR3.

Stevie Johnson has been diagnosed with a hip flexor, and is expected to be limited in Wednesday's practice.
The issue isn't serious enough to require an MRI, but as is often the case with Johnson, he'll likely get in a week of limited practices before earning a "questionable" tag on Friday's injury report. For now, fantasy owners can leave Johnson penciled in as their WR3.

Stevie Johnson caught seven passes for 72 yards and one touchdown in Week 8 against the Saints.
Johnson was targeted a game-high 11 times, along with teammate Scott Chandler. His touchdown came from 13 yards out in the second quarter to tie the game at 7-7. The ball was thrown well behind Johnson, but he managed to contort his body and reach back to haul it in on a route out of the slot. Johnson has one of the best pairs of hands in the league. He did appear to aggravate a groin or thigh injury during the game. Johnson was noticeably limping and hobbling around for much of the second half. He remains on the WR3 radar heading into Week 9 against the Chiefs.

Stevie Johnson caught six balls for 61 yards in the Bills' Week 7 win over the Dolphins.
Thad Lewis' spread-the-wealth mentality in the passing game kept all Buffalo pass catchers under 65 receiving yards, but Johnson delivered with numerous spectacular catches over the middle and down the seam, mostly of the chain-moving variety. He'll be a better fantasy play in Week 8 against the Saints, although Johnson is clearly no more than a WR3 option.

Stevie Johnson (back) is listed as probable for Week 7.
Johnson practiced each day this week and will return against the Dolphins after missing last week's game versus Cincinnati. He's a borderline WR3/4.

Stevie Johnson (back) was upgraded to "full" in Thursday's practice.
Johnson was limited on Wednesday. The upgrade is a strong sign he's ready to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. At less than 100 percent with either Thad Lewis or Matt Flynn (shudder) under center, Johnson won't be more than a WR4 for Week 7.

Stevie Johnson (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Johnson is fully expected to play this week against the Dolphins after missing Week 6. He'll likely see a lot of Brent Grimes, making Johnson a weak WR3 play.
