A bears player nearly broke an ankle…

For their season finale at Lambeau Field, the Bears may be without running back Khalil Herbert and cornerback Jaylon Johnson.

 

Johnson missed last week’s game due to a shoulder ailment, so he is questionable for this one as well. He stated on Thursday that he intended to try to participate, but the injury is going to be a big enough concern that he will require an urgent and substantial improvement on Saturday in order to play on Sunday. The Bears are hopeful that it will occur.

Coach Matt Eberflus stated, “He simply obviously knows the position incredibly well.” “He is truly capable of excellent performance. He is fully aware of the coverage.

 

Just minor adjustments here and there. so he could leave prepared. He has undoubtedly participated in the meetings.”

 

Johnson will have missed 14 games in the last four seasons if he does not play. In a season, he has never missed fewer than two games.

Herbert appeared on Thursday’s injury report as having a back ailment, which prevented him from practicing much. He was completely held out on Friday and is dubious for the match. Herbert has just finished two games with 100 yards or more.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney is the only player with an injury classified as out. He had a concussion against Arizona in Week 16 and has not played since.

 

Due to a calf injury that kept him out of part of practice on Friday, slot cornerback Kyler Gordon was labeled as questionable along with two other late-week injuries. Due to a calf issue, starting center Lucas Patrick only participated in a brief practice on Friday and is also doubtful.

tense conclusion Cole Kmet has been steadily increasing his workload this week after making a full recovery on Friday. Considering he played in just 13 plays last week due to a knee ailment, he is doubtful for this game.

 

After being out due to illness earlier in the week, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent returned for a full practice and was taken off the injury list. DJ Moore was also taken out. On Wednesday and Thursday, he was sidelined due to an ankle ailment, but on Friday, he practiced fully.

Rudy Ford, the safety, and running back AJ Dillon are not expected to play for the Bears. Ford is out with a hamstring ailment, and Dillon is out with a neck stinger. Due to a concussion, linebacker Isaiah McDuffie is questionable. Players who raise questions include tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney), guard Elgton Jenkins (knee, ankle), wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring), wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (chest), wide receiver Jayden Reed (chest), and tackle Luke Tenuta (ankle).
