The Chicago Bears' final injury report before their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions is out and there are some good news and bad news for the fans.
Starting with the good news, linebacker T.J. Edwards and cornerback Jaylon Johnson have no injury designation, which means they will be good to go to play. Edwards and Johnson missed the Bears' Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Now comes the bad news: Starting cornerback Kyler Gordon is going to miss a second straight game with his hamstring injury, as he has not practiced all week. Training camp darling Jahdae Walker is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury. Another starter on defense, defensive lineman Grady Jarrett, is listed as questionable with his knee injury, but did practice for the first time this week on Friday, as he was limited.

Even with key players returning, the Bears keep getting hit with injuries elsewhere
Johnson and Edwards are welcome sights on the injury report to see them returning to the team. Their presence was missing after the team allowed 27 points in the Vikings' loss.
Not having Gordon for a second straight game will mean that Nick McCloud could be back to start at nickel. After Nahshon Wright's performance in Johnson's absence, there's a possibility he might find the field more often in the secondary.
Jarrett's status will be interesting to see if he will be back for the game on Sunday. If he is out, it could be the first time the team activates rookie second-round pick Shemar Turner for game day.
Other key notes include running back Roschon Johnson appearing to be good to go to play for the first time this season. Johnson could either be splitting RB2 reps with rookie Kyle Monangai or be the third back as he eases back into the lineup.

If Jarrett can play on Sunday, the damage won't be as severe, but losing Gordon again stings for the secondary, which has been plagued by injuries for the last month and a half.
