The Chicago Bears saw safety Eddie Jackson and wide receiver Darnell Mooney, two of their key players, leave the field during their 31-10 loss against the New York Jets on Sunday due to injuries and now the worst has been confirmed. Both players have been placed on injured reserve and are expected to miss the season.
Jackson, who has had a renaissance season for the Bears, reportedly suffered a Lisfranc injury while Mooney, the team’s top wideout, will require surgery to repair his ankle. Jackson leads the team in tackles and interceptions, while Mooney has the most catches and yards of any Bears receiver this year.
The news wasn’t much of a surprise for Bears fans, but it was still another blow to a disappointing season.
Awful loss, losing him and Mooney in the same game might be a death blow to whatever was left of the #Bears’ season.
Jackson was the duct tape holding their defense together — he was having a fabulous year up to this point. Wishing him a speedy recovery! https://t.co/DVlIXsYYte

Losing Mooney and Jackson for the season in one game is as bad as it gets https://t.co/RhQcIBy6u8

Justin Fields. Then Darnell Mooney. Now Eddie Jackson.
It's officially #NFLDraft season, #DaBears fans.
