Bears Week 18 injury report: Jaylon Johnson, Cole Kmet DNP Wednesday

The Chicago Bears (7-9) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers (8-8).

The Bears had five players sidelined for Wednesday’s practice, including cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and tight end Cole Kmet (knee). Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of last week’s win against the Atlanta Falcons. While Kmet did play in that game, he wasn’t involved much as he continues to battle a knee injury suffered in Week 16.

Elsewhere, long snapper Patrick Scales is dealing with a foot injury, wide receiver Darnell Mooney remains in concussion protocol and quarterback Tyson Bagent is dealing with an illness.

Wide receiver DJ Moore was limited with an ankle injury.
