LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears still plan to have
cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon return from their
injuries this season, coach Ben Johnson said Wednesday.
He's just not sure when they'll be back in uniform.
“We should be able to get them back at some point at the end of
the season here,” Johnson said. “But kind of to-be-determined on
when those clocks will start ticking here.”
A two-time Pro Bowler, Jaylon Johnson missed training camp, the
preseason and the season opener because of a groin injury. He
then injured a different part of the groin in a Week 2 loss at
Detroit and had surgery to repair that region.
“He’s excited about where he is right now and he’s hopeful he’ll
be able to be out on the practice field here in the near
future,” the coach said.
Gordon, who signed a three-year, $40 million extension in April,
has been sidelined since Week 7 because of a groin injury. He
also missed the first four games because of a hamstring injury.
Chicago signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson two weeks ago. He has three
sacks in two games.
The Bears (6-3) go for their seventh win in eight games when
they visit Minnesota on Sunday. They lost to the Vikings at
Soldier Field in the season opener.
