Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) could practice Wednesday

Oct 23, 2023

Bears RB Roschon Johnson has one more hurdle to clear concussion protocol but Eberflus said it "looks real good" for him to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

With Herbert on IR, Johnson could come back to a significant role in the running game for the Bears if he's back in Week 8. However, Foreman was pretty good in Week 7, scoring three touchdowns and running for 89 on 16 carries. Johnson seemed to be ahead of Foreman prior to being concussed so it remains to be seen if that will still be the case. Foreman added three catches for 31 yards. The return of Johnson should at least put him as the team's RB2, pushing Evans down the depth chart. Evans was a factor in Week 7 as well, running 14 times for 48 yards while adding a six-yard catch. However the game script against the Chargers could be different in Week 8 compared to how things went for the Bears in Week 7 vs. the Raiders. The Bears and Chargers are a Sunday night contest.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
