MINNEAPOLIS — Bears coach Thomas Brown mentioned Monday that “in fact” Jaylon Johnson is a captain regardless of the cornerback carrying a jersey with out his common captaincy patch towards the Vikings.
“He’s undoubtedly a captain,” Brown mentioned. “He’s in each captain’s assembly and a man that speaks for our group rather a lot. Really did a very good job at Saturday’s follow … [I] left him get within the center and did an incredible job of delivering a well timed message. He’s undoubtedly a captain on and off the sector for us.”
Johnson appeared shocked when informed within the Bears locker room after the sport that his jersey didn’t have a patch. He then checked to find that was true.
“That’s loopy,” he mentioned.
He then mentioned he wanted to speak to gear supervisor Tony Medlin.
Johnson was maybe probably the most pissed off Bears participant within the moments after the Bears’ loss to the Lions, which led to move coach Matt Eberflus’ firing two weeks in the past.
