Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson ended practice for the first-team defense by intercepting Justin Fields in the red zone and more observations from the Monday practice.
Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon and cornerback Jaylon Johnson celebrate after a stop on third down during a preseason game on Aug. 12, 2023.
“I catch Jugs all the time, deep balls, different angles,” Johnson said. “I wouldn’t say I do anything different. Just continue to get more reps and then really have it conscious on your mind, get in different positions and doing it smart within the scheme, just really making it a priority, making it something that I go out there and do, not just all the time when I break the ball up but treating myself like a receiver when I get in the air.
“If you can’t get underneath it, then at all costs, you get away from it,” Hightower said of the miscue. “He knows that and I think he’s discussed that with you guys. Just got to keep working. Keep working, keep growing. You can never — he has a competitive streak in him. He wants to make a play and he just got to know when to say when.”
Santos was good last season — connecting on 4 of 5 attempts from 50 yards and beyond — but the one miss seems to have stuck with him. That was a 56-yard try during the Week 11 meeting with the Atlanta Falcons at the Mercedes-Benz Dome. It hit the crossbar and was no good.
