Chicago Bears Injury News: Jaylon Johnson Added To Injury Report + Trade Michael Schofield?

The latest Chicago Bears Injury Report has dropped for Thursday, September 22nd before NFL Week 3 - Bears vs. Texans. CB Jaylon Johnson and LB Matthew Adams are new additions to the Bears Injury Report, which includes 6 players:
- WR Velus Jones Jr. (Hamstring, Limited)
- CB Jaylon Johnson (Quad, Limited)
- LB Roquan Smith (Hip, DNP)
- LB Matthew Adams (Hamstring, DNP)
- TE Ryan Griffin (Achilles, DNP)
- S Dane Cruikshank (Hamstring, DNP)

Velus Jones Jr. injury news could be trending up as the rookie WR was elevated to a limited participant at today’s Chicago Bears practice. Jaylon Johnson was also limited today as he’s dealing with a quad injury. The Bears defense desperately need Johnson to play as rookie CB Kyler Gordon and Kindle Vildor have both really struggled in the Bears secondary. Roquan Smith missed practice for a 2nd straight day with a hip injury. Bears’ defensive coordinator Alan Williams says he expects Smith to play on Sunday.

Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator Luke Getsy defended the Bears 4th & Goal play-call inside the 1-yard line against the Packers when QB Justin Fields was ruled short on a QB power from the shotgun. Getsy says the Bears “love that play” but that they simply didn’t execute. Getsy also acknowledged the Bears’ 11 pass attempts last Sunday, but pointed to the fact that Chicago only had 41 offensive plays in total.

Bears Trade Rumors are heating up as OL Michael Schofield has been linked to the Cincinnati Bengals by Bleacher Report. B/R proposed the Bears trading Schofield to the Bengals for a 2023 6th round pick. This would be a steal for Bears’ GM Ryan Poles considering Schofield was initially released by the Bears on final NFL roster cuts day. Chicago re-signed Schofield last week, so trading him for anything would be impressive.
