The Bears get one of their best defensive players back on the field.
Chicago announced Friday that the club has opened a 21-day practice window to allow cornerback Jaylon Johnson to return from injured reserve.
Johnson is out because of a groin injury he aggravated during Chicago’s Week 2 loss to Detroit. This is the only match he has played so far in 2025.
Johnson underwent core muscle surgery to resolve the issue and is now ready to train.
Selected to the Pro Bowl for the second time in 2024, Johnson recorded 53 total tackles, eight passes defended, two interceptions and a forced fumble last season.
At 6-3, the Bears face the Vikings on Sunday before hosting the Steelers in Week 12.
