What happened: C.J. Gardner-Johnson drew a one-game suspension after cameras captured him spitting at an opponent in the second quarter, a violation under Rule 12, Section 3. Tank Dell is expected to play in Week 7 after time on injured reserve with a return designation.

Why it matters: Buffalo absorbs a one-game gap in its secondary during the 2026 regular season. Houston regains a receiver option for Week 7 as the 2026 season continues.

What to watch: Gardner-Johnson becomes eligible to return the following week. Dell's snap count in Week 7 will show his role upon return.
