Chicago Bears fans were ecstatic to see their two-time Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson back on the field on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. That excitement faded away quickly.
Johnson went to go make a play on a Jared Goff pass and was able to dive in front of the pass and deflect it. That was the kind of defense the Bears needed as the unit struggled to start the game.
All of a sudden, worry flowed through the Bears' sidelines. Johnson was down. He had reinjured his groin. Johnson didn't return to the game, and that would be the devastating blow Chicago took as they fell to the Lions 52-21.
