What It Means:

Johnson was excused from the team on Thursday to tend to a personal matter. "He had to take care of that," Crennel said. "We'll see if he's here today or not. We have to see how this thing develops. There's a possibility that he could not go." Duke Johnson would be in line for a three-down role if David is unavailable.

Duke averaged 13.0 touches and 56.3 yards with a touchdown during David's three-game absence from Weeks 10-12. The Bears are allowing the 10th-fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position this season.
