The Chicago Bears went through all of training camp and the preseason without one of their best players, Jaylon Johnson, taking the field. The veteran corner was sidelined with a groin injury, and was working hard to get healthy for Week 1 — a status that’s still up in the air. He spoke with the media on Tuesday to discuss his injury, as well as some narratives that arose while he was sidelined.
One of the narratives was that Johnson was sitting out of camp because of his desire for a new contract. The veteran corner shut that theory down on Tuesday, emphasizing that’s not how he operates.
