Bears' Roschon Johnson: Six touches as No. 2 back in Week 8
Johnson carried five times for 17 yards and added an 11-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 34-17 win over the Seahawks.
With Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) inactive for a fourth straight game, Johnson continued to serve as the No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift. Unsurprisingly, Swift (27 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns) handled the brunt of the work out of the backfield, with Johnson taking the field for just 14 of the team's 70 offensive snaps. If Monangai is able to make it back for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, Johnson's playing time on offense could disappear entirely.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Takes small role in victory
Johnson rushed twice for 13 yards in the Bears' 30-24 victory over the Patriots on Thursday.
Johnson played just 10 offensive snaps to D'Andre Swift's 54 in the contest. The running back did not see much action as he filled in for the injured Kyle Monangai (toe) as a rotational option for the Bears' offense. Johnson also saw one snap with the special teams unit.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Totals 85 yards, TD in Week 6 win
Johnson rushed 13 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Falcons. He caught both of his targets for 34 yards.
With Kyle Monangai (toe) still sidelined, Johnson played 31 offensive snaps behind D'Andre Swift's 45. Johnson actually led the team in rushing, edging out Swift's 44 yards on the ground. Both running backs found the end zone, with Swift scoring a pair of touchdowns on the ground on 16 carries. With Monangai out the last two weeks, Johnson has totaled 125 yards and a score on 27 combined carries and targets. He's got fantasy playability for as long as Monangai is out.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Handles five touches against Jets
Johnson rushed four times for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.
The Bears thoroughly dominated the Jets in time of possession and ran a whopping 93 offensive plays to New York's 34. Johnson saw 10 snaps on offense, as Kyle Monangai (thumb) and D'Andre Swift, who dealt with a knee injury during the practice week, combined to rush 45 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson would be in line for additional work if Monangai needs to miss any game action.

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 cutdown 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 Johnson in 2023, his 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.

Bears' Roschon Johnson: Added to injury report
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.
