2026 Outlook
Johnson is competing for the third spot on the Bears' running back depth chart heading into 2026 training camp. With D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai firmly entrenched as the top two options in Chicago's backfield, Johnson will battle Brittain Brown, Coleman Bennett, and Salvon Ahmed for the final roster spot. His special-teams experience gives him an edge in that competition, positioning him as the early favorite for the RB3 role despite limited offensive snaps in 2025 (per Bears' Roschon Johnson: Top candidate for RB3 spot).
Johnson sat out most of 2025 on injured reserve due to a thumb injury, playing just four snaps on offense in the regular season before ending the year sidelined. The 2023 fourth-round pick will need a solid training camp and preseason showing to secure his roster spot over other depth candidates competing for snaps.
Role / Depth Chart
Competing for third RB spot on 53-man roster. Special-teams contributor. Early favorite for the role but must hold off Brittain Brown, Coleman Bennett, and Salvon Ahmed in training camp.
Injury Status
Recovering from thumb injury (2025). Status heading into 2026 camp: likely healthy but coming off significant time on IR.
