Bears Week 18 injury report: Jaylon Johnson DNP, Cole Kmet limited Thursday
The Chicago Bears (7-9) released their second injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers (8-8).
Cornerback Jaylon Johnson was once again sidelined with a shoulder injury, although he insists that he “100 percent” expects to play against the Packers on Sunday.
Tight end Cole Kmet, who’s been dealing with a knee injury, returned to practice in limited fashion after missing Wednesday’s practice.
Elsewhere, long snapper Patrick Scales is dealing with a foot injury, wide receiver Darnell Mooney remains in concussion protocol and quarterback Tyson Bagent is dealing with an illness.
Wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) and running back Khalil Herbert (back) was also limited on Thursday.
