Bills running back Ty Johnson remains uncertain for regular season opener

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson missed practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. The team has not placed Johnson on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list, leaving his status for the upcoming game against the Houston Texans unresolved. Johnson has been sidelined since early August when he initially suffered a leg injury during practice. Should he remain unavailable for the opener, the Buffalo Bills will likely increase the workloads for James Cook and Ray Davis in the backfield. Frank Gore Jr. remains on the practice squad and serves as an additional option for depth. Friday's practice report is expected to clarify if Johnson can participate in team drills or if his season debut will be delayed.
