• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Totals 85 yards, TD in Week 6 win

  Rotowire Oct 18, 2026

  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: Week 6 Waiver Priority List

  Rotowire Oct 13, 2026

  Kyle Monangai (toe) missed Week 5 at Green Bay, and Johnson stepped up as the backup to D'Andre Swift with five carries for 6 yards and five catches for 34 yards on seven targets, although a lot of his passing production came late in the game. Johnson should continue to get touches until Monangai is back, and Johnson could be a flex option in deeper leagues. He's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB heading into Week 6 at Atlanta.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Handles five touches against Jets

  Rotowire Oct 5, 2026

  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

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2026

  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

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2026

  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

  Rotowire Jul 17, 2026

  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

  Rotowire Feb 4, 2026

  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

  Rotowire Nov 22, 2025

  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.

  Rotowire Nov 21, 2025

  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.

  Rotowire Nov 20, 2025

  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

  Rotowire Nov 7, 2025

  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.

  Rotowire Nov 6, 2025

  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

  Rotowire Nov 5, 2025

  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.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Remains sidelined Thursday

  Rotowire Oct 30, 2025

  Johnson (back) remained a non-participant at practice Thursday. Johnson hasn't practiced or played since Week 7 against the Saints. Even on the off chance he recovers in time to suit up Sunday against the Bengals, Johnson would likely remain in a depth role behind D'Andre Swift (groin) and Kyle Monangai.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Misses practice again

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2025

  Johnson (back) did not practice Thursday. Johnson has now missed back-to-back practices, making his status uncertain for Sunday's road game against the Ravens. He suited up for Chicago's last five regular-season games but only handled two carries (for 17 yards) across that span, so if Johnson misses time it shouldn't have a notable impact on the workloads of D'Andre Swift (groin) and Kyle Monangai. If Johnson can't go, Travis Homer figures to slot in as the Bears' third-string running back.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Retains minimal usage

  Rotowire Oct 19, 2025

  Johnson rushed once for 11 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday. Johnson has two rushing attempts while seeing offensive snaps in just two games this season. His lack of involvement leaves him with minimal fantasy value.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: First rushing attempt of season

  Rotowire Oct 14, 2025

  Johnson rushed once for six yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Though Johnson has now suited up four games this season, Monday marked the first time that he's touched the ball in 2025. His role is expected to be contained mostly to special teams while rookie Kyle Monangai serves as the Bears' No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Limited practice Thursday

  Rotowire Sep 11, 2025

  Johnson (foot) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. After having a cap on his reps at Wednesday's walkthrough, Johnson maintained that activity level one day later as he continues his recovery from a foot injury. Friday's practice report will reveal whether the Bears give him a chance to make his season debut Sunday at Detroit or otherwise rule him out for a second consecutive contest. Whenever he's healthy enough to suit up, he'll be in the mix for RB reps along with rookie seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai behind starter D'Andre Swift.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Sitting out Week 1

  Rotowire Sep 8, 2025

  Johnson (foot) is listed as inactive for Monday's game at Chicago. Johnson followed up Thursday's listing of DNP on the Bears' practice estimate with no drills Friday before returning as a limited participant at Saturday's session. A foot issue has been bothering him since at least Aug. 7, but the team gave him a chance to suit up in the season opener. With Johnson's lack of availability confirmed for Week 1 action, rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai will be the only active RB behind No. 1 option D'Andre Swift.

• Bears' Roschon Johnson: Not practicing yet

  Rotowire Sep 5, 2025

  Johnson (foot) didn't practice Friday. Johnson also was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, putting his availability in doubt ahead of Monday's season opener against Minnesota. Fellow backup running back Kyle Monangai is listed as a limited participant this week, while starter D'Andre Swift isn't on the injury report at all. Things are trending toward a busy Monday night for Swift, albeit against a tough Vikings defense that held him to 109 yards on 32 carries (3.4 YPC) in two matchups last year.
