This is the decision that has been brewing for weeks. With all eyes on Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson and the new-look Chicago Bears offense, it's the defense that got some brutal news before Week 1 kickoff on Monday Night Football.
Starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson will not play in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings and has been declared out.
Johnson had been rehabbing groin and calf injuries for weeks now and did not practice at all throughout training camp. At one point, it seemed like he could be on track to play.
