The Bills released Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Gardner-Johnson missed the Bills' Week 8 36-10 win over the Ravens due to a one-game suspension. Having just been reinstated Monday, the 28-year-old's inconsistent play with the team was the leading cause of his release, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The seventh-year pro will look elsewhere for another shot at playing this season.

Gardner-Johnson has been reinstated after serving a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reported Monday. The Bills have been granted a one-day exemption to return Gardner-Johnson to the active roster but it remains unclear what will be done with the free safety. Coach Joe Brady has yet to name a starting safety opposite Cole Bishop for Week 9 against the Vikings, and Damar Hamlin may get the start after displaying strong consistency in the Bills' Week 8 win over the Ravens.

The NFL announced Thursday that Gardner-Johnson's one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct has been upheld. Gardner-Johnson's attempt to appeal his suspension was unsuccessful Thursday. The 28-year-old was ejected from the Bills Week 6 game for spitting in the direction of Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. Damar Hamlin and Dee Alford will likely see additional snaps in the secondary.

The NFL announced Monday that Gardner-Johnson has received a one-game suspension without pay for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's 33-30 win over the Raiders. During the second quarter of the game, Gardner-Johnson was ejected after spitting in the direction of Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. The Bills are on bye in Week 7, so the veteran defensive back will serve the ban during a Week 8 game against the Ravens. Gardner-Johnson's absence likely clears the way for Damar Hamlin and Dee Alford to see added snaps in the secondary.

Gardner-Johnson logged five tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed, including one interception, in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday. Quarterback Justin Herbert threw Gardner-Johnson a "meatball sub", according to commentator Tom Brady, early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. The pick resulted in the Bills taking a lead for the first time in the game, with the 17-13 score becoming the closest gap in the remainder of the contest. The safety intercepted the ball at the 1-yard line, likely saving a touchdown or, at the very least, a field goal. Gardner-Johnson played 68 of the team's 69 defensive plays in the contest.
