Roschon Johnson Out Of Concussion Protocol For Week 8

Roschon Johnson Out Of Concussion Protocol For Week 8

one year ago

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson is set to return in Week 8 after successfully clearing concussion protocol and participating fully in practice sessions throughout the week. With Khalil Herbert (ankle) on injured reserve, the rookie is poised to step into a role upon his return. Following D'Onta Foreman's impressive performance last week, it's likely he will lead the way in a shared backfield in Week 8. Considering Justin Fields' absence due to a thumb injury, the Bears are expected to heavily rely on their running game, providing ample opportunities for both Foreman and Johnson. The Chargers have been generous to running backs, allowing the tenth-most points per game to the position this season, making it a favorable matchup. Johnson is mainly worth considering as a stash until he secures a more consistent role within the offense.
