Stevie Johnson was forced from Thursday's game against the Bills with a back injury, and is questionable to return.
Johnson was seen writhing in pain in the sideline, though he's since been spotted trying to warm up to go back in. It's possible he'll be re-evaluated at halftime. Johnson was slowed by a back injury during OTAs. He had two catches for 19 yards before departing.

Stevie Johnson (hamstring) was limited in Bills practice Monday.
Johnson will be fine for Thursday night's game against the Browns. However, he's nothing more than a low-end WR3 versus Joe Haden and company.

Stevie Johnson was held to one catch for negative-one yards in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Ravens.
Perhaps Johnson's balky hamstring was to blame, but he just couldn't separate from Jimmy Smith. He saw six targets on the day, second only to Robert Woods. The other problem is that Doug Marrone wants to run to win when possible, and that's exactly what they did as they got a lead on the Ravens. Johnson is now on pace for 72 catches, 940 yards and eight touchdowns. That's the ceiling right now, especially with a matchup on Thursday night against shutdown CB Joe Haden looming.

Stevie Johnson (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Johnson was limited in practice this week, but his status was never in doubt. Rotoworld ranks him as the 22nd overall wideout for Week 4.

Stevie Johnson (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday.
Johnson's absence on Wednesday was precautionary. He should be fine for Sunday's home game against the Ravens and Lardarius Webb.

Stevie Johnson (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday.
Johnson played on 89.6 percent of the Week 3 snaps and didn't appear to get injured, so this is likely just a rest day.

Stevie Johnson caught six passes for 86 yards in the Bills' Week 3 loss to the Jets.
Despite E.J. Manuel's struggles, Johnson has turned in back-to-back 80-plus-yard games and saw a team-high 13 targets against the Jets. He'll remain in the WR3 mix when Buffalo takes on Lardarius Webb's Ravens defense in Week 4.

Stevie Johnson caught three passes for 39 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo's Week 1 loss to the Patriots.
Johnson's score was a jump ball in double coverage in the end zone. He also committed a bad drop on 3rd-and-goal, however. With the Bills spreading out their offensive and going more run heavy in 2013, Johnson is going to have ups and downs as a WR3.

Stevie Johnson caught four passes for 28 yards in the Bills' third preseason game Saturday.
Johnson saw a team-high seven targets from Kevin Kolb and Jeff Tuel, but he also lost a fumble that led to a Redskins touchdown. It was Johnson's first action of the preseason after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury. Johnson is going to make his home in the slot this season, and we wouldn't expect him to have a high YPR average. He's our No. 35 receiver and is a WR3.

Stevie Johnson (hamstring) expects to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Redskins.
Johnson sat out each of the Bills' first two preseason games. Although Johnson has barely practiced this summer, we're not concerned about his Week 1 status. Few players are more proven at playing through injury.
