The Bears signed Johnson off their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for both of Chicago's last two games and caught a pass for an 11-yard gain in the Week 17 win over the Falcons. The wideout will presumably suit up for Sunday's season finale versus the Packers, but he may be in store for only a modest role on offense.

The Bears reverted Johnson to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had his first reception of the season, hauling in an 11-yard pass from Justin Fields in the third quarter. It was the third time the Bears elevated Johnson, meaning the team would have to sign him to the active roster if they need him for Week 18 against the Packers.

The Bears elevated Johnson to their active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been elevated for the second consecutive week and he'll add some extra depth to a Chicago wide receiver room that will be without Darnell Mooney (concussion) on Sunday. Chicago has now used all three of Johnson's elevations, which means the team must sign him to its 53-man roster if needed in Week 18.

Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played 13 of 70 offensive snaps in Chicago's 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday, but he didn't record any stats. The Bears have elevated Johnson for two games this season, so the team can do so once more before having to make a decision about signing him to the 53-man roster.

The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has yet to appear in a game this season and hasn't played in the NFL since 2021 with the Giants. The 26-year-old veteran is merely insurance and depth at the wideout spot for Chicago.

Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was activated ahead of Sunday's win over the Lions but ended up being inactive. The 26-year-old will now wait for another opportunity to be called up to play.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season Saturday as a result of Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) being questionable for Sunday. Both Scott and Jones will suit up against the Lions, leaving Johnson still in search of his first game action since 2021.

The Bears elevated Johnson to the active roster Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson joined the Bears' practice squad Oct. 10 after being cut by the Giants in late August ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. The elevation comes with Chicago's wide receiver corps significantly banged up ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Lions. Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) are both questionable while Equanimeous St. Brown has been ruled out for Week 14 with a pectoral injury.

The Bears signed Johnson to their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, the Bears cut kicker John Parker Romo from the practice squad to make room. Johnson is 26 years old and has appeared in 26 career games, last seeing regular-season action in 12 games for the Giants in 2021. He has a career 29-377-2 line on 52 targets. Johnson will provide organizational depth.

Johnson was waived by the Giants on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson missed time during training camp with a knee injury, which likely didn't help the Texas product's chances. The 25-year-old missed the 2022 campaign due to a torn Achilles, but he appeared in 12 contests with the team in 2021. He'll now seek a new opportunity elsewhere.
