Bears top CB Jaylon Johnson (quad) takes ‘big step,’ but unlikely to play vs. Vikings

Top cornerback Jaylon Johnson is recovering well from the quad injury that kept him out of the last two games, but the Bears probably won’t have him against the Vikings on Sunday.

That’d be highly problematic for the defense, which is full of question marks at that position behind him.

And it’d be highly disappointing for Johnson, who has been eager for another shot at covering star wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

“That’s what I wake up and want to play this game for — those big-time matchups and just really being able to prove who I am to the world, to myself, to my team,” Johnson said.
