Won't come off IR for Week 12 Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers and will remain on IR for now.

Impact Johnson hasn't played since Week 2 and underwent core-muscle surgery in late September. The veteran cornerback was designated to return from IR on Nov. 14, but he's not yet ready to return to game action. Johnson was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday this week, so there appears to be a decent chance he'll be activated in time to play next Friday versus the Eagles.

Could return Sunday Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact Johnson practiced in full both Thursday and Friday but must still be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. He's an integral part of Chicago's defense, appearing in 17 games and recording 53 total tackles, eight passes defensed, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble in 2024. If Johnson returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as the Bears' top boundary corner.

Impact Johnson has managed to upgrade to full reps in his third practice since being designated to return from IR, presumably putting him on track to suit up Sunday versus the Steelers. The Bears still have to activate Johnson to the 53-man roster, however. The standout cornerback has missed Chicago's last eight games due to a groin injury.

Still limited at practice Wednesday Johnson (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Johnson has missed Chicago's last eight games because of a groin injury he suffered in Week 2 at Detroit, but his recent return to practice signals he is getting closer to being back to full strength. He'll still probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
