One day after being cut by the Texans, former first-round cornerback Kevin Johnson is in a job-hunting mode.

Johnson is visiting the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Johnson played for Bills secondary coach John Butler for three of his four NFL seasons.

Johnson was due a $9.069 million fifth-year club option that was guaranteed for injury only before being cut by the Texans. That money would have become fully guaranteed next week at the start of the league year.

The 26-year-old Johnson suffered two concussions last season, including one against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in the first regular-season game that prompted the Texans to shut him down for the remainder of the season. Johnson also sustained a concussion Aug. 19 during a preseason game at NRG Stadium against the San Francisco 49ers when he landed on his head on the artificial turf.

Johnson met with neurologists to get a handle on his concussion issue and said he has been medically cleared.

"They told me I'm cleared, good to go and I'm in great shape moving forward," Johnson said. "I'm feeling good. I'm going to be ready to go next season.

Johnson drew high marks for his character and work ethic, but will mostly be remembered in Houston for his tendency to get hurt.

Since being drafted out of Wake Forest, Johnson underwent a pair of foot surgeries to repair Lisfranc fractures. He also had wrist surgery following his rookie season.

Johnson played in 35 games with 18 starts for the Texans, recording 122 tackles, 14 passes defensed and one interception.

Through four NFL seasons, Johnson has played in every game once and that was during his rookie year. Over the past three seasons, Johnson has been limited to a combined 19 games and eight starts.

“It wasn’t the season I wanted to have, being out, missing the whole season with the concussion stuff," Johnson said. "All of that is unfortunate, but it’s in the past and I’m moving forward.”
