Bills add Austin Johnson to practice squad amid T.J. Sanders' injury

The Buffalo Bills announced the signing of defensive lineman Austin Johnson to their practice squad on September 23, 2026. This move comes as T.J. Sanders is sidelined following an appendectomy, with no clear timeline for his return. Sanders has struggled with injuries since the start of his second season, impacting his availability for games. Johnson, a former second-round pick, brings experience after playing in Buffalo during the 2024 season, having logged significant snaps in the AFC Championship Game. The Bills hope to bolster their defensive line while Sanders recovers from his procedure.
