Johnson was spotted being attended to by the medical staff on Buffalo's sideline. The Bills' top nickel defender got his arm taped but ended up heading to the locker room, according to reports.
In Buffalo's defensive scheme, the nickel position is a full-time starting job. The Bills consistently only lineup with two linebackers which makes Johnson's loss even larger.
