The Bills announced Tuesday they have placed cornerback Taron Johnson (shoulder) on season-ending injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson underwent surgery on his shoulder last week but the team waited until Tuesday to place him on IR. The rookie slot cornerback originally injured the shoulder in Week 1 but played through it, something head coach Sean McDermott appreciated. “He’s been working through it, which we definitely appreciate,” McDermott said last week. “He got a number of reps. He did play well in there and had a good first season. We just felt it was important for him to get that taken care of, so he could have a productive offseason as well.” The fourth-rounder’s season ends with 42 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble, and three passes defensed in 11 games (two starts).
