Collin Johnson Latest News
Reverts to practice squad
Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday. In his second game this season, Johnson managed to record an assisted tackle while covering a kickoff and also saw two snaps on offense. He could be elevated again next week if Keenan Allen (heel) remains sidelined.
Elevated for second time
The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Johnson was elevated for the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Texans, during which he played seven snaps (one on offense, six on special teams). If he's active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Johnson will likely be limited primarily to special teams even with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for a second straight week.
Heads back to practice squad
Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Johnson played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 19-13 loss at Houston. His prospects of suiting up again in Week 3 might hinge on whether or not Keenan Allen (heel) is available.
Elevated from practice squad
The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Both Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. If one or both of them are unable to suit up for that contest, then Johnson could be active for Week 2 and serve in a depth role at wide receiver.
Signs with Bears' practice squad
Chicago signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Johnson started the preseason strong with three catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Hall of Fame Game against the Texans on Aug. 1. He didn't end up playing in the following three preseason contests, and the 2020 fifth-round pick was unable to crack the Bears' 53-man roster. Johnson should be looked at for a promotion to the active roster should any of Chicago's wide receiver corps miss time.
Let go by Chicago
Johnson was released by the Bears on Tuesday. Johnson was unable to make the Bears' 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign, and the 26-year-old wideout will look to catch on with another team this season. Despite flashing in some of his preseason opportunities, Johnson wasn't able to do enough to secure a roster spot in the Chicago's crowded receiver corps headlined by DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.
Leads Bears' air attack in HOF Game
Johnson brought in three of six targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday. Johnson co-led the Bears in receptions and set the pace in both receiving yards and targets for the team on the night, recording 20- and nine-yard touchdown grabs from Brett Rypien in the second and third quarter, respectively, before the game was called early due to weather. Johnson's first score atoned for a drop on a catchable pass from Rypien earlier in the drive, and the 2020 fifth-round pick of the Jaguars ended up making a solid opening case for a reserve receiver role. Johnson is likely to receive ample opportunity to prove himself over the final three preseason contests, and his experience and downfield prowess should give him a good chance in a job battle with the likes of Velus Jones, DeAndre Carter and Dante Pettis.
