Johnson and DE Montez Sweat were selected to represent the NFC in this year's Pro Bowl games.
Sweat leads both the Bears and the Commanders in sacks this season. Johnson has recorded a career-high in interceptions so far this season.
While the Bears practiced without tight end Cole Kmet and cornerback Jaylon Johnson, head coach Matt Eberflus said it's looking positive that both will be able to play this Sunday. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a team with plenty to prove to themselves and to their fan base.
A Bears win could knock the Packers out of the playoffs, something Eberflus tried to downplay. The players, though, understood the importance of the opportunity.
Fields may have looked like a franchise QB as he led the Bears to a 37-point outing against the Falcons, but Eberflus was not quite ready to make that proclamation.
Justin Fields threw for 268 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing TD, and D.J. Moore finished with nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown.
The Bears could be missing two of their top pass catchers on Sunday when they host the Atlanta Falcons. As CBS 2's Matt Zahn explained, despite the potential losses, QB1 is set on finishing the season with a flourish.
The Bears could be missing two of their top pass catchers on Sunday when they host the Atlanta Falcons.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields said after last Sunday's win that he doesn't care about individual statistics so long as the team wins. The quarterback may be without receiver Darnell Mooney this Sunday as he's in concussion protocol. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on QB1 and the numbers he is actively chasing.
Both statistical categories have basically been cut in half since Fields' return from injury five games ago.
The Bears could be in a win-win situation this weekend when considering draft positions for 2024.
It's almost a win-win situation for the Bears this weekend against the Cardinals. If they win, it shows continued improvement after that 0-4 start. If they lose, Arizona gets its fourth win. And that makes it more likely the Bears will get a top-two pick in next year's draft by way of the Panthers.
The Bears will host Kyler Murry and the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a Bears receiving corps that was still hurting after a missed opportunity last weekend in Cleveland.
WR Darnell Mooney gave his take after being questioned for a lackluster block on a 4th and short in which Justin Fields was tackled short of the first down line.
The ball bounced in and out of Mooney's hands and he kicked it into the air, allowing Browns safety D'Anthony Bell to intercept it and seal a 20-17 win.
This game is, in many ways, both a redemption opportunity and a growth check for Justin Fields.
The Bears will go for their third straight win Sunday in Cleveland and try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. And Justin Fields is hoping this trip back to Ohio is much better than his last one. I'm Marshall Harris, and here are three things to watch when the Bears visit the Browns.
The Bears are gearing up for Sunday's massive game in Cleveland. As CBS 2's Matt Zahn explained, wideout Darnell Mooney is also getting ready for what could be his final month in a Bears uniform.
DJ Moore returned to the practice field after sitting out on Wednesday because of an ankle injury, a good sign he'll be available on Sunday in Cleveland.
Bear down! It's not just a mantra but something the Bears defense has apparently taken to heart as of late, giving up an average of 12 points over their last two contests. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a big blow to a defense playing its best football all season.
Ngakoue, who's recorded two sacks in the last four games, broke his ankle against the Detroit Lions last week.
Receiver DJ Moore had his first career rushing touchdown and caught a scoring pass to help Chicago (5-8) win for the third time in four games.
The Bears were without receiver Equanimeous St. Brown at practice as he deals with a pectoral injury. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a team with an all too fresh memory of what happened the last time they faced the Detroit Lions.
The way the Bears blew a double-digit lead late in Detroit was clearly still bothering and motivating players this week.
