Bears Place Pro Bowl CB Jaylon Johnson on Injured Reserve for Minimum Four Games

Chicago is evaluating treatment options, including surgery, after the Pro Bowler aggravated a groin injury in Week 2.

Overview

  • Johnson was moved to IR on Saturday, making him ineligible until at least Week 8 and leaving his return timeline uncertain.
  • He first suffered an adductor injury in the offseason, missed Week 1, and left the Lions game in the second quarter after a new groin setback.
  • The secondary remains thin with Kyler Gordon still out and Terell Smith already lost for the season, increasing pressure on depth players.
  • Roster moves included placing Kiran Amegadjie on IR, signing Tanoh Kpassagnon to the 53-man roster, and elevating Dallis Flowers and Carl Jones Jr. for Sunday.
  • Running back D’Andre Swift was listed questionable with a quad issue, and reporting indicated he was expected to play against the Cowboys.
