Anthony Johnson: Everything you need to know

The Bears signed Johnson on Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Johnson was a seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2023 Draft and has appeared in 21 career regular-season games, logging 29 tackles (20 solo) and four pass breakups, including one interception. He'll compete for a reserve role with Chicago.

The Giants waived Johnson on Tuesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Johnson spent last season on the Giants' reserve/PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, and will now be subject to the NFL's waiver system. If the 2023 seventh-round pick clears waivers, he will be an unrestricted free agent and will be free to sign with any team. The free safety's last game was Week 18 of the 2024 season, where he logged 18 defensive snaps for three tackles and a pass defensed in the Giants' 20-13 loss to the Eagles.

Johnson (undisclosed) reverted to the Giants' reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Johnson was let go by the team on Tuesday due to a failed physical but will now stay in New York after clearing waivers. The 2023 seventh-round pick will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season before he will be eligible to return.
