The Bears are making progress toward getting two key defenders back by the Sept. 8 season opener.

Star cornerback Jaylon Johnson did a light workout at Soldier Field on Sunday before the preseason game against the Bills, which was the first time he’s done anything in public view while recovering from a leg injury. Defensive lineman Shemar Turner, who hasn’t practiced in full since hurting his ankle the first day of training camp, also worked out.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles initially said Johnson would miss “a few weeks” and he was “not overly concerned” about anything long term.
