""I want to win," Gardner-Johnson said. "I won a Super Bowl last year. Sometimes it's not about being the star of the team. Sometimes it's about being the guy that get things done the right way and helping guys get things done the right way.""
""Gardner-Johnson began the 2025 season in Houston, where he started three games at safety for the Houston Texans before being released Sept. 23, a decision coach DeMeco Ryans said "was the best for our team." The veteran then spent a week on the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad earlier this month but was released in what was described as "an amicable mutual decision."""
""Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson is sidelined indefinitely after undergoing core muscle surgery last month, and starting cornerback Kyler Gordon will miss at least three more games after being placed on injured reserve last week. Chicago also was without cornerback Tyrique Stevenson for Sunday's loss to the Ravens, but he was back at practice Wednesday for the first time since before Week 7 and was limited.""
