NY’s Orchard Park Taron Johnson, a slot cornerback for the Buffalo Bills, is hopeful that he will play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, just six days after he was hurt during a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Johnson, who was selected by the Associated Press as a second-team All-Pro last week, told reporters on Friday that he felt OK and that he would play if he cleared the last round of the NFL’s concussion protocol on Saturday. His status on the team’s final injury report is officially uncertain.

The entire season, our team has battled,” he remarked. “We won’t give up on our struggle just yet. Our team has shown resiliency, and our players have excelled at filling in for injured teammates in their position or group. That was demonstrated to us (against the Steelers).
Tyrel Dodson, a linebacker, and Rasul Douglas, a cornerback, should return for the Bills against the Chiefs. This week, they have both been practicing. Although Douglas is marked as dubious, he said he
was operational early on in the week. Dodson told the team he was ready to go on Tuesday morning following the Steelers game, according to McDermott, who made this announcement on Friday.
With starter middle linebacker Terrel Bernard being carried off the field against the Steelers due to an ankle injury, Dodson’s return is greatly anticipated. Despite not having practiced all week, McDermott stated he will make a choice at the game.keeps rehabilitating his fractured ankle. Although Bernard’s status is categorized as uncertain, McDermott expressed optimism earlier this week over Bernard’s prognosis.
On Thursday, Stefon Diggs appeared on the injury report with a foot injury diagnosis and a vet rest day. Although it occurred during the Steelers game, according to McDermott, he became aware of it later in the week. Diggs appeared to be active and maneuvered well during the walk-through on Friday. The official team report does not list him as injured.
This week, the Bills added former punter Matt Haack to their practice squad since starting quarterback Sam Martin is rated as questionable due to a hamstring ailment. After making an appearance in one game last month with the Cleveland Browns, Haack has been working and waiting to hear from the team. Haack will have to be added to the active roster or promoted off the practice squad if Marton is unable to go. To go that way, the Bills would have to clear a space on the 53-man roster.
