Johnson (arm) was not listed on the Bears' official injury report Wednesday.
Johnson picked up an arm issue during a practice late in August, but it seems like he has already put it behind him with Week 1 of the regular season officially underway. When available, he should play a major role in Chicago's secondary this year.

Bears' Jaylon Johnson: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Johnson is dealing with an arm injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Johnson suffered the injury during Thursday's practice session, forcing him to leave early. While the severity of the injury is currently unknown, Jaylon Jones and Malik Muhammad could be in line for increased playing time should Johnson be forced to miss time during the regular season.
Johnson recorded five solo tackles in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Johnson appeared in seven games and totaled 17 tackles, one interception and two passes defended while missing significant time for the fourth time in five seasons. His snap counts were limited for much of the year, and his career interception total sits at eight across six seasons. He is signed through 2027 and remains a low-floor, low-ceiling IDP.
Johnson recorded one solo tackle and one interception in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Johnson is averaging 1.5 tackles per game this season, and this interception was his first of the year. With minimal tackle production, he remains off the IDP radar unless his usage or involvement increases.
