Orchard Park, NY (My Sportsbook) - The Buffalo Bills on Wednesday signed linebacker Chris Draft and safety Todd Johnson. Draft, a 10-year veteran, has made 88 starts in 142 career games. Johnson, who is in his seventh season, has started 22 games. Both players spent the past two years with the St. Louis Rams. The moves were made in response to the season-ending injuries to linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Marcus Buggs, who were placed on injured reserve earlier in the week. Both suffered knee injuries during Sunday's game against Cleveland. Mitchell left the contest in the second quarter after having his right knee rolled over by two Browns linemen. Buggs was hurt in the third quarter while covering a punt. The Bills also signed linebacker Anthony Waters to the practice squad.
