Bears top CB Jaylon Johnson remains out as Vikings WR Justin Jefferson looms

Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams likened the job of trying to manage Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Dalvin Cook to having “a full plate.”

“Not to diminish the other guys on the team, but those are two dynamic players,” Williams said. “That’s really what creates the problem: They can beat you in two ways. So you have to pick and choose ... where you put guys and what you focus on.”

Imagine if he doesn’t have his best cornerback.

Jaylon Johnson missed practice again Thursday, adding doubt to the likelihood of him being available to tangle with Jefferson on Sunday.
