Bears Place Star Cornerback Jaylon Johnson on IR because of Groin Injury
- On Saturday, the Chicago Bears announced that Jaylon Johnson, their key cornerback, has been moved to injured reserve and will miss at least four weeks due to a groin injury.
- Johnson aggravated a previous groin injury suffered in offseason workouts while breaking up a pass in the second quarter of the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Detroit Lions on September 14, 2025.
- Johnson missed all training camp and the season opener with the groin injury and was seeking additional medical opinions before the team decided on placing him on injured reserve.
- In March 2024, Johnson agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $76 million. Over the past two seasons, he earned consecutive Pro Bowl selections while recording a total of 89 tackles and 18 passes defended.
- The Bears’ secondary will adjust after losing Johnson and fellow injured corner Kyler Gordon, as they prepare for Sunday’s 3:25 p.m. home game against the Dallas Cowboys.
