Jaylon Johnson Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills are among those discussing potential trades for Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, according to a source. The Dallas Cowboys to this point have not been involved. The league's trade deadline is at 4 pm ET on Tuesday. Johnson has requested a trade from Chicago and is likely to be dealt by the deadline on Halloween. The 24-year-old is in his fourth NFL season this year and has recorded 18 tackles (15 solo), two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), four passes defensed and one forced fumble through six starts this year. Johnson isn't really on the IDP fantasy radar as a defensive back, but he could make for a nice real-life upgrade in the secondary for either San Fran or Buffalo if they're able to pull off a deal on Tuesday.

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (hamstring) and safety Eddie Jackson (foot) didn't practice on Tuesday, which puts their status in doubt for Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders. Both players missed Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. and the fact they missed Tuesday's practice is not a great sign for their availability on TNF. The Bears' secondary is already short-handed with nickelback Kyler Gordon (hand) on Injured Reserve, so both Johnson and Jackson would need to log a limited session on Wednesday in order to have a chance to play on Thursday. Either way, the arrow is pointing up for Washington quarterback Sam Howell and the Commanders' offense.

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (quad) and wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) are inactive for Week 3 against the Houston Texans. Johnson, who was listed as questionable, has amassed four tackles and one forced fumble through two games this season. He is an integral part of the Bears' secondary, so his absence bodes quite well for the Houston passing game this week. Meanwhile, Jones will miss his third consecutive game. He had been listed as doubtful and has yet to make his NFL debut.
