Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson healthy and looking to regain Pro Bowl level

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is healthy and practicing well after a disappointing 2025 season marred by injury, comparing his recovery to last year as 'night and day'.

Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, is motivated to regain his status as an elite cover corner, with coach Ben Johnson praising his approach in training camp.

Johnson's contract with the Bears runs through 2027, but he could be traded or cut after 2026 due to salary cap savings, making this season critical.

Johnson acknowledges this is a 'contract year' and aims to prove his worth by covering, making plays, and being a difference-maker on the field.
