Johnson and DE Montez Sweat were selected to represent the NFC in this year's Pro Bowl games.
Tight end Cole Kmet returned to practice in a limited fashion ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

A Bears win could knock the Packers out of the playoffs, something Eberflus tried to downplay. The players, though, understood the importance of the opportunity.
While the Bears practiced without tight end Cole Kmet and cornerback Jaylon Johnson, head coach Matt Eberflus said it's looking positive that both will be able to play this Sunday. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a team with plenty to prove to themselves and to their fan base.
Fields may have looked like a franchise QB as he led the Bears to a 37-point outing against the Falcons, but Eberflus was not quite ready to make that proclamation.
Justin Fields threw for 268 yards with a touchdown pass and a rushing TD, and D.J. Moore finished with nine catches for 159 yards and a touchdown.

Tight end Cole Kmet caught four passes for a career-high 107 yards despite missing the second half because of a knee injury.

It's almost a win-win situation for the Bears this weekend against the Cardinals. If they win, it shows continued improvement after that 0-4 start. If they lose, Arizona gets its fourth win. And that makes it more likely the Bears will get a top-two pick in next year's draft by way of the Panthers.
The Bears will host Kyler Murry and the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. CBS 2's Matt Zahn had the latest on a Bears receiving corps that was still hurting after a missed opportunity last weekend in Cleveland.
Johnson also answered questions about his future, as he could be down to his final three games in Chicago. CBS 2's Matt Zahn reports.
"If you don't make the playoffs, it's tough, at this point, everybody plays for each other."
The ball bounced in and out of Mooney's hands and he kicked it into the air, allowing Browns safety D'Anthony Bell to intercept it and seal a 20-17 win.
This game is, in many ways, both a redemption opportunity and a growth check for Justin Fields.
DJ Moore returned to the practice field after sitting out on Wednesday because of an ankle injury, a good sign he'll be available on Sunday in Cleveland.
