Buffalo Bills Sign Former Steelers Punter Cameron Johnston

The Buffalo Bills have signed veteran punter Cameron Johnston after he was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers following their final roster cuts. Johnston, who had a serious knee injury in the Steelers' 2024 season opener but returned to full strength, lost the punting competition to Corliss Waitman and punted only twice for Pittsburgh this season. The Bills waived their previous punter, Brad Robbins, who struggled in Week 1 and was rated the NFL's worst punter based on EPA metrics. Johnston brings a strong punting history, including leading the NFL in punting yards in 2021 and winning Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers and Bills will face each other in Week 13, adding an extra layer of interest to Johnston's move. Meanwhile, the New York Jets released wide receiver and return specialist Xavier Gipson following a costly fumble that contributed to their Week 1 loss, replacing him with Isaiah Williams; Gipson was notable for scoring a game-winning touchdown against the Bills in 2023 but was cut after a critical error in Aaron Glenn's coaching debut.
