Overview
- Johnson was one of four players—alongside Case Keenum, Jahdae Walker and Ian Wheeler—designated to the active/non-football injury list on Saturday.
- The Bears have provided no details on the nature of Johnson’s condition, making his availability for training camp uncertain.
- If he remains on the list through the NFL’s August 26 roster cutdown, Chicago must move him to reserve/NFI, triggering a minimum four-game absence.
- Last season Johnson allowed just two interceptions on 56 targets as the Bears surrendered the fewest passing touchdowns in the league.
- Matchups in Weeks 1–3 against Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown and CeeDee Lamb would be far more challenging without his coverage.
