NFC Notes: Bears, Cardinals, Packers

Bears

Bears OLB Leonard Floyd (knee) says heโ€™s feeling great and expects to be ready to fully participate in training camp.

โ€œI feel great,โ€ Floyd said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. โ€œIโ€™ve been up here the whole offseason, working hard, trying to get back in shape, trying to get my leg right so I can be ready for the season. Iโ€™m ready to get to training camp, put the pads on and see how I do.โ€

Cardinals

Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports that Cardinals RB David Johnson missed practice time this week with an undisclosed injury.

Johnson wound up watching Thursdayโ€™s voluntary practice, but Cardinals HC Steve Wilks wouldnโ€™t offer any details regarding his absence.

โ€œItโ€™s the offseason, and Iโ€™m not going to really indulge in injuries or things like that,โ€ Wilks said. โ€œWeโ€™re going to talk about the guys that are out there.โ€

Somers is hearing that Johnsonโ€™s unknown injury isnโ€™t not considered serious.

Packers

Packers veteran CB Davon House says he expects second-year CB Kevin King, who underwent offseason shoulder surgery, to take a โ€œbig jumpโ€ in 2018.

โ€œI think itโ€™s going to be a big jump for him,โ€ House said of King, via ESPN.com. โ€œIโ€™m excited to see what he looks like healthy because last year he was banged up the whole year, and I thought last year he wasnโ€™t bad at all for a rookie. So Iโ€™m excited to see what he brings this year.โ€

New Packers DC Mike Pettine mentioned that King has great size for the cornerback position.

โ€œItโ€™s hard to tell at this point because I know a lot of the film from last year, that he was playing essentially with one arm,โ€ Pettine said. โ€œJust in talking to Joe and Jason, they think the world of him and think the ceiling is real high there. Just looking at him, it surprised me; I didnโ€™t realize how tall he is until I met him in person. Just with receivers getting bigger and bigger โ€” just look at the guys weโ€™ve got to cover in practice โ€” it will be nice to have a corner with that size and length.โ€
