At this time of the year when the NFL playoffs are in full swing, no one in the league is healthy, with every team battling through a ton of injuries in hopes of being able to go the distance and win the Super Bowl.
After taking down the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the postseason, the Buffalo Bills are hoping to get their squad as close to 100% as possible before taking on the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this weekend at Highmark Stadium.
Even though the Bills made easy work of the Steelers in Buffalo on Monday, the team wasn’t able to come out of that game without at least one of their key players dealing with an injury that could cost them the game against the Chiefs.
According to Chris Brown of One Bills Live, cornerback Taron Johnson is currently in concussion protocol ahead of the playoff matchup with the Chiefs.

As Brown pointed out, Johnson isn’t the only one who is dealing with an injury right now that will threaten their playing status.
Wide receiver Gabe Davis is dealing with a knee injury that currently has his status sitting at questionable for Sunday’s game when the team plays host to Patrick Mahomes and company.
As of right now, the Bills are the slight favorites to come out on top against the defending Super Bowl champions, with home-field advantage being something that superstar quarterback Josh Allen and his squad can lean on in this epic playoff showdown in Buffalo.
