Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson started his prepractice press conference by saying how excited he was for practice and that it would be their longest and hardest one yet. Johnson was asked if that means they should have a better idea of how some of the position battles are shaping up.

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson has not practiced at training camp and it looks like it will be a little while before that changes.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles said at the start of training camp that Jaylon Johnson would miss “a few weeks” because of what he called a leg injury he suffered during training in the offseason. Thursday, coach Ben Johnson made it sound like the cornerback’s rehab would last longer.
