Bears' Roschon Johnson: Currently team's only healthy RB
Johnson currently is the only healthy running back on the Bears' active roster after D'Andre Swift (abdomen) exited Thursday's practice due to an injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
With Kyle Monangai still in recovery mode from a hyperextended knee, Swift was the unquestioned top healthy back in Chicago before he was seen holding at his midsection as he left the field Thursday. Following cut-down day and its aftermath, Johnson now is the lone player at the position who isn't banged up, while Salvon Ahmed is the sole RB on the practice squad. Since the Bears used a fourth-round pick on him in 2023, Johnson's role on offense has dwindled in each subsequent campaign, including just two carries and no targets in seven appearances last season.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Could be Swift's top backup Week 1
Johnson is one of three running backs on Chicago's initial 53-man roster, along with D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai (knee).
Johnson beat out Salvon Ahmed, Brittain Brown and Coleman Bennett for a spot on the 53-man roster. Head coach Ben Johnson described Monangai as "week-to-week" Tuesday, per Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com, so Monangai's status for Week 1 remains up in the air. If Monangai isn't ready to face the Panthers on Sept. 13, Johnson could be in line for change-of-pace work behind D'Andre Swift, with no alternatives currently on the roster at running back.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Top candidate for RB3 spot
Johnson (thumb) looks like the early favorite to land the third spot on Chicago's running back depth chart, Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.
D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai seem locked in as the top two options in the Bears' backfield, so Johnson will be tasked with holding off Brittain Brown, Coleman Bennett and Salvon Ahmed for a spot on the 53-man roster. Johnson's experience on special teams makes the 2023 fourth-round pick the player to beat for the final spot, even though he played just four snaps on offense in the 2025 regular season before finishing the season on IR due to a thumb injury.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Plays four snaps on offense in 2025
Johnson rushed two times for seven yards across seven regular-season appearances during the 2025 season.
Johnson dealt with a foot injury during training camp and the preseason and almost immediately fell behind rookie Kyle Monangai as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Monangai never gave the gig back, and Johnson played a total of four offensive snaps during the regular season before being sent to injured reserve with a thumb injury in November. Johnson is signed through the 2026 season, but he's likely going to be in a fight for a roster spot next summer after failing to earn any playing time under Ben Johnson's coaching staff in 2025.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Sent to IR
The Bears placed Johnson (thumb) on injured reserve Saturday.
Johnson popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a thumb injury. He ended up missing all three practices during the week before being ruled out from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh. With Johnson's placement on IR, he'll now miss at least three more games beyond Sunday, making his earliest return date Dec. 20 versus Green Bay. The Bears signed Brittain Brown to their 53-man roster from the practice squad Saturday to replace Johnson as the team's No. 3 running back.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Missing Week 12
Johnson (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
The third-year pro from Texas didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fourth game of the season Sunday. Johnson has played a depth role in Chicago's backfield this season, rushing twice for 17 yards across seven appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 12, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are expected to handle the Bears' rushing duties.

Johnson (thumb) did not practice Thursday.
Johnson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, an indication that he injured this thumb during Week 12 practices. Travis Homer (hamstring/knee) also missed practice Thursday, potentially leaving the Bears thin on backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai heading into a home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Cleared for return
Johnson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Johnson is ready to return from a two-game absence but may mostly be limited to special teams. No. 2 running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) avoided an injury designation, while starter D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) is listed as questionable but seems likely to play.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Limited again Thursday
Johnson (back) was limited in practice Thursday.
Johnson has now logged back-to-back limited practices in preparation for Sunday's game against the Giants. A back injury has caused the reserve running back to sit out Chicago's last two games. If cleared to return versus New York, Johnson will handle a depth role behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Limited practice Wednesday
Johnson (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Johnson has missed the team's last two contests while nursing a back injury, but his ability to return to practice Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The running back will have two more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
