CHICAGO -- Authorities said Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank

The 25-year-old Johnson was released on good behavior after serving 60
days of a 120-day sentence for violating parole in a 2005 weapons
case.

He left the jail just after 7 a.m.

Johnson is scheduled to have a hearing about his off-field problems
with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday.

Johnson's jailing was the result of a Dec. 14 police raid on his
Gurnee home, where authorities found six unregistered firearms. He has
since pleaded guilty in Lake County to misdemeanor charges also
stemming from the raid.

In that case, he was given a 45-day sentence that he was allowed to
serve concurrently with the Cook County sentence.
