The Bears have a serious concern as they continue to evaluate top cornerback Jaylon Johnson. After missing all of the preseason and the opening game with a groin injury, he got hurt again Sunday in the Bears’ 52-21 loss to the Lions.

Johnson leaped to deflect a pass in the second quarter, then fell to the turf and stayed facedown while trainers checked him. He was shortly ruled out for the rest of the game with a groin injury.

He said recently on an episode of The Pivot podcast that the injury was more severe than the Bears initially indicated.
