Cornerback Jaylon Johnson hasn’t told the Bears when he’ll return to practice, though head coach Matt Eberflus presumes it will be in time for mandatory minicamp in two weeks. That’s the first time Johnson could be fined for skipping practice.
“He’ll probably be here for mandatory minicamp,” Eberflus said Wednesday.
Eberflus wouldn’t close the door to a return next week for the end of organized team activities next week. Coaches believe that OTAs are voluntary in the same way as dinner with your in-laws — you can opt-out, technically, but you better not.
