Jaylon Johnson Out Indefinitely as Bears Evaluate Groin Surgery

Chicago is weighing surgery with no official timetable.

Overview

  • Coach Ben Johnson said the cornerback’s latest groin issue is a new injury unrelated to his offseason problem.
  • Johnson told local radio the injury is on the other side of the groin and acknowledged surgery, potentially season-ending, is under consideration.
  • Multiple outlets report he is likely to miss extended time or the rest of the season, while the team maintains evaluations are ongoing.
  • Ben Johnson said there is nothing official on the long-term outlook and confirmed Jaylon Johnson will not play against the Cowboys in Week 3.
  • Chicago surrendered 52 points and 511 yards after Johnson exited in Detroit, with fellow starters T. J. Edwards and Kyler Gordon also dealing with hamstring injuries.
