Collin Johnson (19) had 18 receptions for 272 yards (15.1 average) and two touchdowns as a rookie with the Jaguars in 2020.

The Bears have promoted wide receiver Collin Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Lions, addressing a need because of injuries to Equanimeous St. Brown (out with a pectoral injury), rookie Tyler Scott (questionable with a hamstring injury) and Velus Jones (questionable with an illness).

The injuries left the Bears with just three healthy receivers on their 53-man roster — DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney and kick returner Trent Taylor.
