Bears CB Jaylon Johnson says his OTA absence to end next week

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson says he will be in attendance for the final week of organized team activities after missing the last two weeks of voluntary workouts.

"I'm going to be there for sure next week," Johnson said Thursday on "Keyshawn, JWill and Max" on ESPN Radio. "I know I had a lot of things off the field going on."

Johnson said his absence from Chicago's voluntary offseason program is due to him spending time with his young daughter in his hometown of Fresno, California. The cornerback, who was named the Bears' nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, said he has also been active in creating business opportunities and fundraisers for his non-for-profit, Kevvys Vision Project, which he started in honor of Kev'Vion Schrubb, who was killed by gun violence in 2021.
