LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears star cornerback Jaylon
Johnson will have groin surgery, but the team isn't ruling out a
return this season, coach Ben Johnson said on Monday.
The two-time Pro Bowler indicated last week he might have a
season-ending operation, though Ben Johnson said there's a
chance he returns this year.
“Yes, there is," Ben Johnson said.
Jaylon Johnson left a blowout loss at Detroit in Week 2 after he
was hurt breaking up a pass. He said the next day in his weekly
appearance on WSCR-AM that the groin “as a whole just needs to
get repaired” and that he was “trying to see what’s the best
option.”
Johnson missed training camp, the preseason and the season
opener because of a groin injury. But he said he suffered a new
one, in a different part of that region, in a 52-21 loss to
Detroit. It happened early in the second quarter, when he broke
up a pass intended for Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Bears placed him
on injured reserve on Saturday.
Chicago (1-2) beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Bears visit
the Las Vegas Raiders this week.
