Bears projected to cut Roschon Johnson for Salvon Ahmed as RB3
Summary

The Chicago Bears are likely to part ways with running back Roschon Johnson as they approach the 53-man roster cutdown. ESPN's Courtney Cronin has indicated that Johnson may be replaced by former Miami Dolphins player Salvon Ahmed, who has impressed during the preseason. Ahmed has accrued 53 rushing yards on eight attempts and six receptions for 69 yards, showcasing his potential as a reliable backup. In comparison, Johnson's performance has not matched Ahmed's, leading to speculation about his future on the team. Head coach Ben Johnson acknowledged Johnson's improvement in special teams but still projects a difficult battle for the RB3 spot.
