The Chicago Bears have signed veteran safety Chauncey-Gardner C.J. Johnson to their active roster, boosting their playoff hopes. Johnson, a fourth-round pick in 2019, has experience in Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's system from their time together on the Saints. After playing for the Texans and Ravens, Johnson brings a strong résumé to Chicago, including 161 tackles and 5 interceptions in 43 games with the Saints. He also played a crucial role in the Eagles' Super Bowl run, intercepting 6 passes in the playoffs. Despite a pectoral injury, Johnson returned to top form, intercepting 6 more passes in 16 starts for the Eagles. Now, he joins the Bears, who are currently at 4-3 and have a 23% chance of making the playoffs. Fans hope this move, along with some momentum, could finally turn things around for the team.
