Roschon Johnson: Everything you need to know

Johnson rushed two times for seven yards across seven regular-season appearances during the 2025 season. Johnson dealt with a foot injury during training camp and the preseason and almost immediately fell behind rookie Kyle Monangai as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Monangai never gave the gig back, and Johnson played a total of four offensive snaps during the regular season before being sent to injured reserve with a thumb injury in November. Johnson is signed through the 2026 season, but he's likely going to be in a fight for a roster spot next summer after failing to earn any playing time under Ben Johnson's coaching staff in 2025.

Johnson (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Johnson popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a thumb injury. He ended up missing all three practices during the week before being ruled out from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh. With Johnson's placement on IR, he'll now miss at least four games, making his earliest return date Dec. 20 versus Green Bay. The Bears signed Brittain Brown to their active roster from the practice squad Saturday to fill the No. 3 RB role in Johnson's stead.

Johnson (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers. The third-year pro from Texas didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fourth game of the season Sunday. Johnson has played a depth role in Chicago's backfield this season, rushing twice for 17 yards across seven appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 12, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are expected to handle the Bears' rushing duties.
