Ty Johnson: Breaking News

Inactive again

Johnson (ankle) is listed as inactive Saturday at Denver, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports. Johnson suffered an ankle injury Week 18 against the Jets that now has sidelined him for both of Buffalo's first two playoff contests. With Johnson out again, Ray Davis and Frank Gore will be the backfield options behind starter James Cook.

Could return Saturday

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos. Johnson appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's divisional-round contest in Denver, as he upgraded to limited practice Thursday after missing Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars due to an ankle issue. If active, the Maryland product could play an important role on the Bills' offense, having caught 24 of 33 targets for 263 yards and two touchdowns during the regular season, particularly with Joshua Palmer (ankle), Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) sidelined Saturday.

Upgrades to limited work

Johnson (ankle) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. The 28-year-old from Maryland opened the Bills' week of practice with consecutive DNPs after missing the wild-card round win over the Jaguars. However, Johnson upgraded to limited practice Thursday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Broncos. If active for the divisional round, Johnson will likely operate as the Bills' top backup running back behind James Cook.
