Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson exits week 18 contest against the Packers with a leg injury
The Chicago Bears top cornerback, Jaylon Johnson, hurt his left quad against the Packers and exited the game. The Bears declared Johnson as doubtful to return Sunday.
While the injury has minimal impact for the Bears in 2024, the lower body injury was a scare for the future of the franchise. If this were a knee injury, it could impact the Bears defense for the start of the 2025 season. Thankfully, a quad injury should be manageable during the off-season without lingering impacts for 2025.
Johnson has been one of the few constants for the Bears this season. He followed up a second-team All-Pro season in 2023 with a Pro Bowl bid in 2024. Although, the injury might keep him out of action for the Pro Bowl.
