Doesn't practice Wednesday Johnson (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Johnson was ruled out for Week 3 after landing on the injury report last Thursday with a quadriceps issue. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but it's concerning to see him still sidelined Wednesday. If he's ultimately ruled out for a second straight game, Kindle Vildor should continue seeing an increased workload in Johnson's absence.

To sit against Houston Johnson (quad) is inactive Week 3 against the Texans.

Impact Johnson has seen plenty of work in the Chicago secondary over the first two weeks, but he picked up a quad injury Thursday that will ultimately force him out. Kindle Vildor should continue to see a high snap count in his stead, while fourth-year corner Lamar Jackson could also be called upon for a larger role.

Questionable for Sunday Johnson (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Johnson popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and didn't practice Friday, but he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. The third-year cornerback has played all but one of the Bears' defensive snaps over the first two games of the season, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to Chicago's defense.

Picks up injury Johnson (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant on the Bears' injury report Thursday.

Impact Johnson popped up on Chicago's practice report for the first time Thursday, though the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. The starting cornerback has played all but one of the Bears' defensive snaps over the first two weeks of the season, so it will be worth monitoring his status heading into Sunday's game against the Texans.

Preparing for new defensive system Johnson expects to maintain his execution and approach despite the Bears being expected to play much more zone defense under coach Matt Eberflus, the Bears official site reports.

Impact After playing as part of a secondary that struggled in each of Johnson's first two years with Chicago, the team added rookies Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon, which could raise the level of play across the defense. After averaging four tackles as a rookie, Johnson averaged just three tackles last year. If his rookie teammates play well immediately, Johnson could see a spike in IDP production in the new defensive scheme that often allows the defensive backs to play aggressively when all of the players can master their responsibilities.
