The Chicago Bears may cut running back Roschon Johnson, a fourth-round pick in 2023, after a disappointing tenure. Johnson, who has not started a game and recorded just 352 rushing yards in his rookie season, was mostly relegated to special teams in 2025. With the addition of veteran Salvon Ahmed and undrafted rookie Coleman Bennett, Johnson faces increasing competition for a spot on the roster. The Bears continue to look to bolster their offense after a successful season with the hope of further improvement in 2026.
