Overview

• The Bears placed cornerback Jaylon Johnson, quarterback Case Keenum, wide receiver Jahdae Walker and running back Ian Wheeler on the active/non-football injury list on July 19, barring them from practice as training camp began.
• Players on the NFI list still count toward the 90-man roster but must await medical clearance before returning to any team activities.
• NFL regulations stipulate that any player remaining on the NFI list through the Aug. 26 roster cutdown must miss at least the first four regular-season games.
• Jaylon Johnson’s injury severity remains undisclosed, creating uncertainty over the Pro Bowl cornerback’s availability for the season opener.
• The vacancies open opportunities for rookies and backups to compete as Chicago adjusts its depth charts under first-year coach Ben Johnson.
