Mayor Brandon Johnson joined Chi Gives Back for the ninth annual Chicagoland Toy Drive on Sunday.

The budget counterproposal crafted by opponents of Mayor Brandon Johnson won a critical first vote before the full City Council on Friday.

Tight end E.J. Jenkins and cornerback Brandon Johnson are eligible to be on the game-day roster. It is the second elevation for Jenkins this season. He was also called up for the Week 7 win over the Vikings, and he played five snaps on offense and 19 on special teams.
