Johnson's shoulder injury didn't require surgery during the offseason.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson , who missed the final four games of the 2020 campaign due to his shoulder issue, posted 44 tackles (34 solo) and 15 pass breakups during his 13 regular-season games in a starting role. Now that the 21-year-old has moved past his injury, he should return to his usual cornerback role in the Bears' secondary.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the past three matchups due to a shoulder injury, Johnson began practicing as a limited participant, but it's confirmed he will not suit up once again. Kindle Vildor will likely take over Johnson's cornerback duties, opposite of Kyle Fuller.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson ended the regular season with a trio of missed games, but he managed to practice on a limited basis in each of Chicago's practice sessions this week. With Buster Skrine (concussion) already ruled out to play in New Orleans, it would provide a notable boost for Chicago's secondary if Johnson can suit up and reprise his usual starting role.

Johnson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson missed the last three games of the regular season but was labeled as day-to-day by coach Matt Nagy on Monday. If the starting cornerback doesn't suffer a setback in practice this week, he should be able to suit up in the wild-card round against the Saints on Sunday.

Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Johnson (shoulder) is day-to-day, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson missed the final three games of the season with this injury, but he may return for Sunday's playoff game against the Saints. A better idea of Johnson's progress will be available when the Bears reveal their first practice report of the week Wednesday.

Johnson missed the last three games of the regular season with a shoulder injury, and the rookie ended the season with 44 tackles.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was everything the Bears were hoping he'd be when selecting him in the 2020 draft, and as he goes into the second year of a four-year deal, it's very likely that he could be an emerging star who'll be a coveted IDP option.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will miss his third consecutive tilt as the Bears' secondary depth continues to be tested with Buster Skrine (concussion) also sidelined. Kindle Vildor figures to draw the start at cornerback across from Kyle Fuller.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson did not practice in any capacity this week, and he will consequently miss a second consecutive game. With Buster Skrine (concussion) also out of commission, the Bears will again be short-handed at cornerback.

Johnson (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Vikings, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered the injury in last week's win over Houston, and this news isn't surprising, considering he failed to practice at all this week. The absence of the rookie out of Utah will hurt the Bears' secondary, as he's racked up 44 tackles (34 solo) and 15 pass breakups across 13 games this season in a starting role. Kindle Vildor, Xavier Crawford and Duke Shelley are the candidates to start and see increased roles now that Johnson has been ruled out.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson exited last week's blowout win over the Texans and didn't return due to a shoulder injury. He didn't practice all week, but the Bears are leaving open the possibility that he could tough it out for a critical divisional outing. Buster Skrine (concussion) has already been ruled out. Kindle Vildor or Duke Shelley are the candidates to start if Johnson -- who has started every game this year -- sits out.
