Just a few days before an all-important NFC North showdown with the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears dropped some massive news with Jaylon Johnson's 21-day practice window being opened. They added more intrigue with their final injury report.
In an odd move, Johnson was not ruled out to play yet, as he was limited in practice. The Bears are listing him as questionable for the Vikings game.
Two players will miss the game, though. Starting linebacker T.J. Edwards unsurprisingly will not play, and wide receiver Jahdae Walker also will not play.
One player to watch out for who is questionable is starting safety Jaquan Brisker as he did practice for the first time this week with the back injury. Brisker was limited at practice.
11/14/2025 Bears Injury Report (With Injury Statuses Only)
- T.J. Edwards, LB (Hand/Hamstring, DNP, OUT)
- Jahdae Walker, WR (Concussion, Limited, OUT)
- Jaquan Brisker, S (Back, Limited, QUESTIONABLE)
- Jaylon Johnson, CB (Groin, Limited, QUESTIONABLE)
Imagine if Johnson finds a way to play against the Vikings
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said earlier this week that there was a strong possibility that both Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon would be back before the season ends. It seems highly unlikely that, two months removed from core muscle surgery and just one practice, Johnson would be back playing in a game. Bears fans should still expect him to sit out of the game.
Edwards' injury hurts a lot for the Bears as he misses yet another game for Chicago. He had surgery on his hand last week and might be back soon with a cast to wear.
Brisker is not looking great to play either after only practicing one day, and that being limited. His loss would be massive for a secondary that already has three players on IR.

The Bears are looking solid overall, though, on the injury front, outside of three starters on defense who might not play.
