Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson conceivably could return to the field in time for the team's season opener against the visiting Minnesota Vikings, head coach Ben Johnson said on Thursday.
Jaylon Johnson injured his leg during offseason training, according to Bears general manager Ryan Poles. The two-time Pro Bowl selection remains on the non-football injury list.
'I think there's a scenario where he'll be ready for Week 1,' Ben Johnson said. 'That's really the target date. I know he's working hard and diligently to get there for that. With those types of injuries that he's got, you just never know. You never know. It's still early in that process. I know he's attacking that rehab really well.'
Johnson, 26, started all 17 games for the Bears in 2024 while playing in the first season of a four-year, $76 million contract. He started all 70 games in which he has played since being selected by Chicago in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Johnson recorded 53 tackles and two interceptions last season and 214 and seven, respectively, during his five seasons with the Bears.
