CALEB JOHNSON NEWS

Moved to IR The Dolphins placed Johnson (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets and was unable to return to the game. The linebacker was also unable to practice Thursday with a shoulder injury deemed severe enough to move him to injured reserve. The 27-year-old will be unable to return for the rest of the regular season, with his only hope of suiting up again being if the Dolphins can make a wild-card push. In Johnson's absence, K.J. Britt and Willie Gay will likely see more defensive reps at strongside linebacker.

If Johnson is unable to play Monday, Tyrel Dodson will likely see additional reps.

Suffers knee injury Johnson (knee) is doubtful to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Johnson appeared to suffer a knee injury on a Seattle running play during Thursday's contest. The linebacker managed to walk to the locker room with only a slight limp. There is no indication how long Johnson will be out, but the 24-year-old saw a key role on the Bears' special teams last season so Chicago may need to look for replacements if Johnson is expected to miss time.

Posts no stats in loss Johnson failed to record a tackle in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with eight tackles.

Impact Johnson was used solely on special teams. He's signed through the 2023 season, but unless he moves into the Bears' rotation at linebacker, it's unlikely he'll have significant IDP value.
