Johnson was the first to go down.

The running back was injured along the right sideline during one-on-one receiving drills less than 30 minutes into practice. Trainers tended to Johnson on the field before helping him off and into the locker room.

McGovern left later during 11-on-11 team drills.

The Bills’ starting center walked behind the sideline accompanied by trainers before heading into the locker room.
