CHICAGO -- Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson returned to practice this week after missing the first six sessions of OTAs.
Chicago's top corner, who is entering his fourth NFL season, has not yet signed a new deal with the team that drafted him 50th overall in 2020. Johnson said last week on ESPN Radio's "Keyshawn, JWill and Max" that his absence stemmed from wanting to spend time with his daughter and fundraise for his non-for-profit, both of which took place in his hometown of Fresno, California.
Johnson downplayed the notion that he was staying away from Halas Hall because he has not received a contract extension from the Bears.
