With a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Monday, the Buffalo Bills secured their spot in the Divisional Round. But it wasn’t all smiles after the win, as other Bills players sustained injuries throughout the game. Taron Johnson, the cornerback, was one of them; he was hurt in the head during the second half.
It appears that Johnson will not play in the Bills’ next game against the Chiefs in Kansas City. According to Josh Alper of NBC Sports, the defensive back is undergoing concussion protocol and will require clearance before playing on Sunday.
Many of the defensive players for the Bills are also sidelined by injury, which exacerbates their problems. Tyrel Dodson, the linebacker, safety Taylor Rapp, and cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford were all injured against the Steelers.In addition to Taron Johnson, two other players who suffered injuries in the victory over Pittsburgh were linebackers Terrel Bernard and Baylon Spector.Regarding Johnson, he has played a crucial role in the Bills defense the entire season. The cornerback will be essential for the team’s divisional game after finishing the regular season with 98 total tackles (72 solo, 26 assisted), three forced fumbles, and three interceptions.
The Bills defense has one week to make sure as many of their injured guys are back on the field before facing up against Patrick Mahomes, a difficult opponent. But in the event that things go wrong and a lot of the previously stated players are sidelined, the Bills might need to engage in some free agent scouting or acquire players from the practice squad as backups.
