The Buffalo Bills recently had some interesting events take place in relation to the running back room. After running back Damien Harris went down with a head/neck injury in Buffalo’s Week 6 win over the New York Giants, the Bills tried to find someone capable of replacing what Harris brought to the table now that he’s on injured reserve.
On Friday, Buffalo announced that they signed running back Ty Johnson from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of their matchup on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Johnson, a sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has been with the Bills since August when he initially signed with the team in free-agency.
With Johnson signed to the 53-man roster, it appears that he’ll get some run in a backfield headed by starter James Cook. To that point, what can be expected from Johnson in his new role for the Bills?
