Collin Johnson: Signs with Bears' practice squad
Chicago signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Johnson started the preseason strong with three catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Hall of Fame Game against the Texans on Aug. 1. He didn't end up playing in the following three preseason contests, and the 2020 fifth-round pick was unable to crack the Bears' 53-man roster. Johnson could get a promotion to the active roster if any of Chicago's wide receiver corps miss time.

Collin Johnson: Let go by Chicago
Johnson was released by the Bears on Tuesday.
Johnson was unable to make the Bears' 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign, and the 26-year-old wideout will look to catch on with another team this season. Despite flashing in some of his preseason opportunities, Johnson wasn't able to do enough to secure a roster spot in the Chicago's crowded receiver corps headlined by DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.

Bears' Collin Johnson: Leads Bears' air attack in HOF Game
Johnson brought in three of six targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday.
Johnson co-led the Bears in receptions and set the pace in both receiving yards and targets for the team on the night, recording 20- and nine-yard touchdown grabs from Brett Rypien in the second and third quarter, respectively, before the game was called early due to weather. Johnson's first score atoned for a drop on a catchable pass from Rypien earlier in the drive, and the 2020 fifth-round pick of the Jaguars ended up making a solid opening case for a reserve receiver role. Johnson is likely to receive ample opportunity to prove himself over the final three preseason contests, and his experience and downfield prowess should give him a good chance in a job battle with the likes of Velus Jones, DeAndre Carter and Dante Pettis.

Bears' Collin Johnson: Signed to Chicago's roster
The Bears signed Johnson off their practice squad Wednesday.
Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for both of Chicago's last two games and caught a pass for an 11-yard gain in the Week 17 win over the Falcons. The wideout will presumably suit up for Sunday's season finale versus the Packers, but he may be in store for only a modest role on offense.

Johnson had his first reception of the season in Sunday's win over the Falcons, hauling in an 11-yard pass from Justin Fields in the third quarter. It was the third time the Bears elevated Johnson, meaning the team would have to sign him to the active roster if they need him for Week 18 against the Packers.

Bears' Collin Johnson: Joins active roster
The Bears elevated Johnson to their active roster Saturday.
Johnson has been elevated for the second consecutive week and he'll add some extra depth to a Chicago wide receiver room that will be without Darnell Mooney (concussion) on Sunday. Chicago has now used all three of Johnson's elevations, which means the team must sign him to its 53-man roster if he's needed in Week 18.

Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Johnson played 13 of 70 offensive snaps in Chicago's 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday, but he didn't record any stats. The Bears have elevated Johnson for two games this season, so the team can do so once more before having to make a decision about signing him to the 53-man roster.

Bears' Collin Johnson: Won't suit up Week 14
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Detroit.
Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season Saturday as a result of Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) being questionable for Sunday. Both Scott and Jones will suit up against the Lions, leaving Johnson still in search of his first game action since 2021.

Collin Johnson: Won't make team
Johnson was waived by the Giants on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Johnson missed time during training camp with a knee injury, which likely didn't help the Texas product's chances. The 25-year-old missed the 2022 campaign due to a torn Achilles, but he appeared in 12 contests with the team in 2021. He'll now seek a new opportunity elsewhere.

Giants' Collin Johnson: Will not return Friday
Johnson has been declared out for the remainder of Friday's preseason game in Detroit due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
According to Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, Johnson was able to take a knee next to his wide receiver coach and did not appear to be in much distress, so there is reason for optimism going forward. He failed to bring in his only target prior to leaving the game. The 25-year-old is competing against a crowded receiver room for a depth role with the team this season.
