Roschon Johnson

Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and running back Roschon Johnson are being placed on injured reserve, the team announced on Saturday.

The Steelers have defended the run well in recent weeks, but the Bears' rushing attack is averaging the sixth-most yards per carry (4.8) and the offensive line is generating the second-most yards per carry before contact (1.8). Swift is ready to rock as an RB2, operating as the Bears' lead rusher in Week 12. Nos. 3 and 4 RBs Roschon Johnson (thumb) and Travis Homer (hamstring/knee) have both been ruled out.

Swift can be counted on once again this weekend. The Bears' starting running back continues to churn out usable stat lines despite the nagging hip issue. No. 3 RB Roschon Johnson continues to be a non-factor in an injury-plagued season, and this week is no different. After missing Week 8 with a back issue, Johnson is now nursing a thumb injury. Expect Swift and Kyle Monangai to operate as usual.
