Overview

• The IR move sidelines Johnson for a minimum of four games, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports he is out indefinitely.
• Johnson aggravated a new groin injury in Week 2 against the Lions after missing Week 1 due to an offseason groin issue.
• With Johnson and Kyler Gordon unavailable, backups Nahshon Wright and Nick McCloud are expected to start versus the Cowboys.
• The Bears elevated cornerback Dallis Flowers for Sunday and promoted Tanoh Kpassagnon and Carl Jones Jr., while tackle Kiran Amegadjie also went on IR.
• Chicago's cornerback group has been thinned further by Terell Smith’s season-ending knee injury, straining a defense that has already allowed seven passing touchdowns.
