NextImg:Rookie running back Roschon Johnson ready to roll

Rookie running back Roschon Johnson is out of concussion protocol and expects to play Sunday against the Chargers. 

Johnson has missed the last two games after suffering the concussion against the Commanders on Oct. 5 at FedEx Field. 

“I feel 100 percent,” Johnson said. “Had a great training staff and doctors helping me through the whole protocol process. It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced something like that. Feels great to be back.”

Johnson said the hit that caused the concussion “was like any other hit.” But he became concerned once he was diagnosed. 

“That’s why I took my time with it,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t trying to rush to come back or do anything super fast. I had a great group of trainers, training staff and doctors that walked me through the process and made sure I took things slowly and made sure I was ready to come back.”

Johnson has 25 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown, with a long run of 29 yards in five games this season. He will shore up depleted running back room. Khalil Herbert is on injured reserve after injuring his ankle against the Commanders. With Herbert and Johnson injured, the Bears signed Darrynton Evans off the Dolphins practice squad.

Johnson is expected to share backfield duties with D’Onta Foreman, who had 16 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns and three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 30-12 victory over the Raiders last week.
