Johnson recorded one solo tackle and one interception in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is averaging 1.5 tackles per game this season, and this interception was his first of the year. With minimal tackle production, he remains off the IDP radar unless his usage or involvement increases.

Johnson (groin) is active for Friday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed Week 1 with the same injury, returned in Week 2 only to aggravate the issue, and then required surgery. This will be just his second game of the season. The Chicago secondary is getting a massive boost with the returns of both Johnson and Kyler Gordon (calf) against Philadelphia.

Chicago activated Johnson (groin) off injured reserve Thursday, and he remains questionable for Friday's Week 13 game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
This seems to confirm reports that Johnson will return to action Friday, though he remains officially questionable. His final status may not be clarified until the Packers release their list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to Friday's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Johnson does indeed get clearance to play, he'll likely reclaim a starting role at cornerback.

Johnson (groin) has been listed as questionable to play against the Eagles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday that Johnson was set to be activated, but for now, he's questionable. Johnson remains on injured reserve and would need to be activated by Thursday afternoon to have a chance to suit up. The cornerback missed all of training camp and the preseason with the groin injury, sat out Week 1, aggravated the injury in Week 2, had surgery in late September and has been out ever since.

Johnson (groin) is set to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cornerback has logged four consecutive full practices going into the game, so he looks ready to go. Johnson missed all of training camp and the preseason with the groin injury, sat out Week 1, aggravated the injury in Week 2, had surgery in late September and has been out ever since. The sixth-year pro made the Pro Bowl the last two years and the All-Pro team in 2023.

Johnson (groin) logged a full practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has only played one game this season and has been recovering from groin surgery since late September. He has logged four consecutive full practices dating back to last week, so he could return to the field Friday against Philadelphia.

Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers and will remain on IR for now.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson hasn't played since Week 2 and underwent core-muscle surgery in late September. The veteran cornerback was designated to return from IR on Nov. 14, but he's not yet ready to return to game action. Johnson was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday this week, so there appears to be a decent chance he'll be activated in time to play next Friday versus the Eagles.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson practiced in full both Thursday and Friday but must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. He's an integral part of Chicago's defense, appearing in 17 games and recording 53 total tackles, eight passes defensed, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble in 2024. If Johnson returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as the Bears' top boundary corner.

Johnson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has managed to upgrade to full reps in his third practice since being designated to return from IR, presumably putting him on track to suit up Sunday versus the Steelers. The Bears still have to activate Johnson to the 53-man roster, however. The standout cornerback has missed Chicago's last eight games due to a groin injury.

Johnson (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has missed Chicago's last eight games because of a groin injury he suffered in Week 2 at Detroit, but his recent return to practice signals he is getting closer to being back to full strength. He'll still probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
