Over their last five quarters of football, the Chicago Bears have allowed 73 points. No one on the defensive side of the ball has played particularly well, but injuries to some key players have been a factor in the ineptitude.
Cornerback Jaylon Johnson missed Week 1 with a groin injury, and after suffering what head coach Ben Johnson has called a new injury in Week 2 he is out indefinitely. Nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon has missed both games so far this season due to a hamstring injury.
Linebacker T.J. Edwards missed Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings due to a hamstring injury of his own, then he left Week 2 against the Detroit Lions after aggravating the injury.
