Jaylon Johnson 21-day window opened

Great news. Obviously, he still might be a month away, but I doubt much beyond that.

That gives him a shot to play in 23 days against GB. With the PHI game the week prior on a Friday, we can assume that one is out. However, the GB game would give him 5 more games. GB, CLE, GB, SF, and DET. I think the CLE game would be the latest, as that would be 9 days after the 21-day window.

The return of JJ and Kyler G should help a lot. We still need a pass rush of course, but having better coverage should help us win shootouts at least - but it puts the lack of pass rush on Caleb's shoulders.

Saw another report that confirms most of this and speculated that “IF Chicago were in the mix” his earliest return might be Cleveland.  Which I believe was because the Browns aren’t as good a team and it would be a good chance for JJ to start testing things out before playing against tougher competition and theoretically deep into the playoffs.  However if the team wasn’t making the playoffs, then they thought he’d more than likely sit the rest of the season out.  That tells me he’s right on the edge.

He's listed as questionable against the Vikings, which is crazy. I was thinking he'd be back for that first Packers game, but in light of this news, it might be even sooner than that. Ben said he's healthy. Now it's just a matter of conditioning. What a huge boost that would be to get him back during this difficult stretch.
