Safety Eddie Jackson was back after recovering from a Lisfranc injury in his left foot that ended his 2022 season, and new right guard Nate Davis also practiced. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said Davis had been at Halas Hall earlier this offseason, but Davis was not present at the two previous OTA practices open to the media.
Johnson said he sat in team meetings via Zoom and stayed in frequent contact with new cornerbacks coach Jon Hoke and teammate Kindle Vildor while he was away. Now he has a handful of practices to catch up on anything else he missed.
