Chicago Bears’ Jaylon Johnson primed for comeback season in Dennis Allen’s eyes
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson had a season to forget in 2025. But as he prepares for the 2026 season, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen likes what he sees.
Now fully healthy, Johnson has reclaimed his spot atop the Bears’ cornerback depth chart. Allen has seen all of the work he has put in and is confident Johnson will be true difference maker in Chicago come 2026, via Dan Wiederer of the Athletic.
“I’ve seen a guy who has really kind of taken a step forward,” Allen said. “I think he himself probably feels more like himself. And I’ve been really pleased with what I’ve seen out of him, in particular over the course of the last two weeks.”
“I think his leadership has started to kind of come to the forefront a little bit, and that’s needed,” he continued. “We need him to play at a very high level for us to be successful. And I think he understands that, he accepts that challenge, and he’s looking forward to it.”
Chicago Bears’ Jaylon Johnson ready for 2026 comeback
Johnson appeared in just seven games during the 2025 season due to a groin injury. He still managed to make a pair of pass break ups and a pick, but it wasn’t the performance Bears fans have been accustom to. Now fully healthy though, both Johnson and Allen are expecting a return to form.
The cornerback was named a Pro Bowler in both 2023 and 2024. He put up 18 pass break ups and six interceptions during that span. In 2024, Johnson’s 76.2 grade from Pro Football Focus ranked 11/117 cornerbacks. A year prior, he was second overall with a mark of 90.1.
Coming off such a serious injury, it’s fair to wonder if Johnson will once again reach those heights. But he has spent all offseason putting in the work, attempting to prove he is a top cornerback in the league again.
Johnson will have Allen in his corner throughout his entire comeback attempt. If the cornerback is playing at Pro Bowler form, the negative noise surrounding Chicago’s defense will get a bit quieter.
