The Chicago Bears are rolling into the NFC Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams after having some momentum from their 31-27 comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in the first round.
All the good times in the Windy City continued on with the first injury report for the Bears to be released, and it is all great news. The only concern is backup nickel corner Nick McCloud, who was the lone player out of practice with a groin injury.
Everyone else was practicing either on a limited basis or fully. Even some key players like cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon were completely removed from the injury report. Here is the full list of players on the report:
1/14/2026 Bears Injury Report
- Nick McCloud, CB (Groin, DNP)
- DJ Moore, WR (Knee, Limited)
- Rome Odunze, WR (Foot, Limited)
- Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB (Back, Limited)
- C.J. Gardner-Johnson, CB (Concussion, Full)
- Braxton Jones, OT (Knee, Full)
- Amen Ogbongbemiga, LB (Concussion, Full)
- Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, DL (Concussion, Full)
Bears looked to be at their healthiest at the right time
It's safe to assume some players will be banged up and not at 100%, like Moore and Odunze, who have dealt with lingering injuries all season. Chicago has to be happy, though, that only one player is not practicing.
The Bears should be encouraged that Gardner-Johnson was back practicing after missing the Packers Wild Card game, as the secondary appears to be at near full strength. If McCloud can't go, it would be safe to assume Gordon and Gardner-Johnson will rotate into the slot.
Other than that, Jones was a full participant after missing most of the season with the knee injury. That will give the Bears the depth needed on the offensive line.
