  "account": "Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears received some negative feedback from an NFL analyst recently. Johnson has already made a significant impact on the team, leading them to first place in the NFC North last year. However, there are areas that need improvement.\n\nJosh Edwards of CBS Sports has highlighted a specific issue that the Bears need to address before the season begins. The secondary of the team has been severely affected by injuries. Safety Coby Bryant will miss an extended period, while Kyler Gordon, Elijah Hicks, and Jaylon Jones have been unable to practice due to injuries. The analyst suggests that the Bears should focus on strengthening their secondary, as it has been a weak point in recent times.\n\nDespite these challenges, Johnson appears to be proactive in his approach to the team. He might consider adding another tight end to bolster the roster before the deadline. Johnson is known for his calculated decisions and is not likely to overlook any aspect of the team's potential. It is possible that the Bears could see some bold additions made by Johnson before the roster deadline.",
