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 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.
Johnson (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Johnson remains in the concussion protocol and hasn't yet practiced in any capacity. His next chance to suit up will come Week 15 against the Vikings, but Johnson will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol in order to do so. With Johnson sidelined and D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup, Travis Homer and practice-squad member Darrynton Evans could be in line to handle key backfield roles for Chicago.
Johnson (concussion) didn't practice Thursday. Both Johnson and D'Andre Swift (quadricep) were spectators for the second practice in a row, leaving the statuses of both of the team's top two running backs in question as Sunday's game at San Francisco approaches. If Johnson can't clear concussion protocol before the weekend and if Swift is forced to miss his first game of the season, the Bears would likely turn to Travis Homer and practice-squad member Darrynton Evans to take on most of the reps out of the backfield.
