Bears Place Pro Bowl CB Jaylon Johnson on Injured Reserve

The Pro Bowl cornerback is evaluating rehab versus surgery following his Week 2 groin aggravation.

Overview

  • He will miss at least the next four games under NFL IR rules, with his earliest eligibility to return in Week 8 against Baltimore.
  • Johnson aggravated a groin injury on a pass breakup in Detroit after an offseason adductor tear had already sidelined him for training camp and Week 1.
  • He has sought additional medical opinions this week, and surgery remains under consideration, leaving his timeline unresolved.
  • Chicago also placed offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie on IR, signed Tanoh Kpassagnon to the 53-man roster, and elevated Dallis Flowers and Carl Jones Jr. for Sunday.
  • Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen called the loss a “big hindrance” for a secondary missing Kyler Gordon and allowing an NFL-high seven passing touchdowns through two games.
