Johnson rushed twice for three yards and brought in all five targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Johnson was once again a clear second fiddle to lead back D'Andre Swift, who logged 20 carries. The second-year pro had a relatively uneventful season despite the trade of Khalil Herbert to the Bengals, with the exception of a solid red-zone role that helped him score six rushing touchdowns. Johnson tallied just 150 rushing yards on 55 carries alongside a 16-104 receiving line over 14 regular-season games, and he's likely to head into training camp next summer in a similar, clear No. 2 role.
Johnson rushed four times for five yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Seahawks. Johnson was used in a change-of-pace role behind D'Andre Swift, whose 16 touches for 81 yards led the Bears in what was an abysmal showing by the entire offense. Swift's likely to lead the backfield once again when the Bears try to avoid ending the season on an 11-game losing streak in Week 18 against the Packers, leaving Johnson with limited fantasy upside.
Johnson had a three-yard carry in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. After missing the last two games due to a concussion, Johnson touched the ball once as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Since Chicago's Week 8 bye, Johnson has posted 21 or fewer scrimmage yards in six of seven games. However, the veteran has found the end zone three times in the last seven games, making him a touchdown-or-bust option in the fantasy playoffs.
Johnson (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Lions. After missing the past two games while in the concussion protocol, Johnson was able to string together three consecutive full listings on the injury report this week, thereby clearing him to return to action. He'll play second fiddle to D'Andre Swift on Sunday, especially with Travis Homer (hamstring) being listed as doubtful for Week 16. On the season, Johnson has averaged 2.9 yards on his 48 carries, hauled in 11 of 15 targets for 88 yards and scored six rushing touchdowns in 11 games.
Johnson (concussion) was a full participant at Thursday's walkthrough. Johnson has kicked off Week 16 with back-to-back full sessions, though the Bears have yet to announce that he's fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. The final step Johnson will have to progress through involves consultation with an independent neurologist. Johnson seems to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's divisional contest against the Lions, but he'll require full clearance in order to retake the field.
Johnson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice. Though Wednesday's practice report is merely an estimate, his full listing is nonetheless a good sign that he's made significant progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Johnson can gain clearance from an independent neurologist ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, he will be in position to reclaim his backup role behind D'Andre Swift.
Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out and will not play Monday against the Vikings. Johnson has now missed the past two contests due to a concussion suffered during the Thanksgiving game against the Lions. With D'Andre Swift (groin) once again questionable for the contest, Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans could see additional looks.
Johnson (concussion) remained sidelined for Friday's practice. Johnson was concussed on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions in Week 13 and missed last week's loss to the 49ers. If Johnson is unable to gain clearance for Monday night's game against the Vikings, Travis Homer (head) would be next up at running back. It's worth mentioning that D'Andre Swift (groin) also missed practice Thursday and Friday. Darrynton Evans and Royce Freeman are on Chicago's practice squad.
Johnson (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's walkthrough. Johnson has been a listed DNP since sustaining a concussion during a Thanksgiving day loss at Detroit, sitting out Week 14 at San Francisco so far. With no activity to speak of yet, he clearly hasn't made much progress through the protocol for head inuries. Meanwhile, fellow RB D'Andre Swift (groin) also was a non-participant Thursday, and Travis Homer (head) was listed as full. Consequently, the state of the Bears backfield remains in flux ahead of Monday's game in Minnesota.
