Taron Johnson is a name to watch throughout the coming days leading up to kickoff against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday.
Prior to the contest, there is a chance that Johnson ends up on injured reserve. Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott did not rule that possibility out, but Johnson is not playing in Miami, that is already confirmed.
“We’re kind of seeing what the options are at this point and just trying to make the right decision,” he told reporters.
Johnson was injured on the first drive for the Bills defense against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1, a game Buffalo won 34-28. Cam Lewis stepped in and played well in relief and will likely start again in Miami.
With Johnson out, Lewis will be a huge matchup the Dolphins will want to exploit.
Led by Tyreek Hill, Miami has one of the best wide receiver rooms in the NFL.
If Johnson does end up on IR, he must sit out for at least four games. That’s why Buffalo might do so before their Week 2 game, so the game counts as one of those weeks he is required to miss.
Bills Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
