Johnson's agent, CJ Laboy, told WKBW-TV in Buffalo that the procedure is "extremely minor surgery that won't keep him out long at all. He will be at [the Bills'] facility for all activities."

Johnson confirmed on Twitter that he had arrived in Philadelphia for the surgery.

"Just got in The Hotel here in Philly. Thx to Everyone that sent a message concerning The Op," Johnson wrote.
