Bears facing nightmare scenario at polarizing position after Ben Johnson update

Poor Ben Johnson. His Chicago Bears team has just been plagued with injury after injury.

They have lost multiple defensive starters throughout the first four games of the regular season, including Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, T.J. Edwards, and Grady Jarrett. Even on offense, they have had to play games with rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland and starting right tackle Darnell Wright.

The only position they have prayed they wouldn't have to deal with when it comes to injury is at kicker. Unfortunately for Johnson, he faced that scenario when Cairo Santos dealt with a quad injury.

Santos was at practice on Wednesday, working with a specialist, but Johnson didn't provide the most encouraging update, as the team is managing his injury day by day.
