Johnson (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
Johnson has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for Sunday's regular-season finale versus New England. The cornerback suffered the head injury in Monday's contest versus the Bengals before the game was ultimately suspended. Johnson will return to his prominent role in Buffalo's secondary ahead of the postseason.

Rotowire
Johnson was removed for Monday's game against the Bengals to be evaluated for a head injury.
Johnson went down on the first series of the game before he was taken to the medical tent on Buffalo's sideline, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. The slot cornerback then went to the locker room to undergo further evaluation for this injury. In his stead, Siran Neal has stepped in as Buffalo's nickel cornerback, according to Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Logs eight tackles Week 11
Rotowire
Johnson recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-23 victory versus the Browns.
Johnson notched his most prolific tackling performance since his nine-stop performance Week 1. The 26-year-old cornerback has also played at least 93 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps eight times this season, including Sunday, as starting cornerback Tre'Davious White was ruled a healthy scratch for the third straight game since coming off IR in early November. Johnson now has 60 tackles (41 solo), four passes defended and an interception over 10 contests in 2022, though his playing time could take a step back if White makes his season debut against Detroit on Thanksgiving Day.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Steps up once again
Rotowire
Johnson led the Bills with six tackles during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Although Johnson isn't really a starter in name -- even amid all the injuries the Bills are working through -- he's versatile enough that he plays like one, seeing 100 percent of the defensive snaps. Johnson is always a sneaky source of IDP production, posting 76 and 94 tackles the last two seasons, and he might even see a temporary bump from that level given that the Bills are currently depleted in the secondary.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Posts big Week 1 numbers
Rotowire
Johnson logged nine tackles and one pass defensed in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Rams.
While not a starter in name, Johnson is one of the team's key defenders and ended up playing 96 percent of the defensive snaps in the win. He'll likely see the field with regularity due to his ability to play several spots on the defense, which has already come in handy since the Bills will play at least the first four weeks without star corner Tre'Davious White (knee). Johnson posted 76 tackles and 3.0 sacks last season.

Rotowire
Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Jacksonville due to a concussion.

Rotowire
Johnson is being evaluated for a head injury after leaving Sunday's contest against the Jaguars early.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Inks three-year extension
Rotowire
Johnson signed a three-year contract extension with the Bills on Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Johnson started each of the first three games of the season and recorded 15 tackles (13 solo), one sack, four pass defenses and a forced fumble during that time. He missed last week's contest due to a groin injury but will be active for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City. The 2018 fourth-rounder is now under contract with Buffalo through the 2024 campaign.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Ready for Sunday Night Football
Rotowire
Johnson (groin) practiced on a full basis for a third straight day Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City.
Johnson missed last week's game against Houston, but as one of the league's better non-starting cornerbacks, his presence is a big boost as the Bills try to come up with a way to stop the high-powered Chiefs offense after failing miserably in two attempts last season.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Practices fully Wednesday
Rotowire
Johnson (groin) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice.
Johnson was unavailable for last week's win over the Texans due to his groin injury, but it appears as though he'll be back in action Sunday against Kansas City.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Dicey for Week 4
Rotowire
Johnson did not practice Thursday due to a groin injury.
Johnson went from limited Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, which isn't a great sign, though he'll get one more chance to practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Johnson is one of the more IDP friendly non-starters in the league, with 15 tackles, a sack, five passes defensed and a forced fumble through three games.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Giving it a go
Rotowire
Johnson (groin) will play in Sunday's game against the Rams.
It was reported earlier that Johnson was expected to suit up in the contest after logging a full practice Friday, so this news isn't surprising. The 2018 fourth-round pick has played at least 76 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the first two games, so he'll likely be in line for a similar role for Week 3.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Misses Wednesday's session
Rotowire
Johnson missed practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Johnson logged more defensive snaps (57) in Week 2 compared to the 48 he saw in Week 1, so he either suffered the injury late in Sunday's win over the Dolphins or played through it. For the second straight game, the team's No. 2 cornerback recorded five tackles. We'll see if he can get in some practice participation Thursday or Friday ahead of the Week 3 tilt against the Rams.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Leaves Saturday's playoff game
Rotowire
Johnson left Saturday's loss to the Texans with an undisclosed injury and did not return, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson isn't a starter, but his loss had a big effect on the game, as starter Levi Wallace was already an inactive. By the end of the game when the Texans were in catch-up mode, the Bills were down to depth corners. Houston started to get a bunch of chunk plays, and while Siran Neal had a couple of big plays in the second half, a couple of his mistakes proved especially costly. Johnson finishes his second season with 50 tackles in the regular season to go with five passes defensed, a sack and one forced fumble.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Highest PT share of season
Rotowire
Johnson played 61 percent of the defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Washington, logging one tackle and one pass defensed.
The box score doesn't tell the whole story, as the second-year player had some big plays in the fourth quarter as the Bills finally pulled away from their pesky opponent. With Johnson finally back to full health -- he missed four games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury -- and Kevin Johnson limited with a knee injury, Johnson seems secure in his No. 3 cornerback role again, where he mainly mans the slot.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Practices fully Wednesday
Rotowire
Johnson (hamstring) returned to a full practice Wednesday following the team's bye week, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
The slot corner hasn't played since the team's regular-season opener, so even though he appears mostly healthy he still probably needs to show more during the rest of the practice week in order to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins. If Johnson does return, it's going to make one of the league's better defenses that much stronger.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Out for reminder of Week 1
Rotowire
Johnson was officially ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets with a hamstring injury.
It's unclear how Johnson picked up the injury, but it's serious enough to keep him out for the rest of the game. Now that he's been ruled out, Siran Neal and to a lesser extent Kevin Johnson could see increased reps on defense and special teams. Taron Johnson was unofficially credited with three solo tackles in the game.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Expected back for training camp
Rotowire
Johnson (shoulder) is expected to make a full recovery ahead of training camp, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson's impressive rookie season -- during which he made 42 tackles across 11 games while playing reserve snaps -- came to an end when he underwent surgery to address a shoulder injury Dec. 5. The 22-year-old could be limited during OTAs, but is expected to be fully healthy for training camp and does not anticipate that his rehab will have an impact on his physical style of play.
