Ben Johnson says what all Bears fans wanted to hear about Jaylon Johnson’s injury

The Chicago Bears have only had star corner Jaylon Johnson on the field for 20 snaps this season. After missing the majority of camp, and Week 1, with a groin injury, the corner returned in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, he re-aggravated the injury in the game, and has since been placed on injured reserve.

On Monday, the team announced a somewhat promising update. Head coach Ben Johnson confirmed that the cornerback will have core muscle surgery, and that the procedure should help him return to the field this season.
