Bills WR Johnson expected to play against Dolphins

Published: Nov 18, 2011 at 04:15 AM

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson should be ready to play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, but he is still listed as questionable because of a shoulder injury.

Johnson hurt his shoulder in Sunday's loss to Dallas and didn't practice on Wednesday. He returned Thursday, and coach Chan Gailey seemed optimistic on Friday that Buffalo will have its top receiver against the Dolphins (2-7).

The Bills (5-4), though, might be without starting strong safety George Wilson, who hurt his neck in the Cowboys game. Wilson, who leads the team with four interceptions, didn't practice all week.

Receiver David Nelson (ankle) is probable, but left tackle Demetrius Bell (shoulder) and defensive end/linebacker Spencer Johnson (calf) are both questionable.
