Bears Week 18 injury report: Jaylon Johnson doubtful, Cole Kmet questionable vs. Packers

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

While cornerback Jaylon Johnson said earlier this week he expected to play against the Packers, he’s officially listed as doubtful after not practicing all week with a shoulder injury.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who missed last week’s game with a concussion, remains in concussion protocol and has already been ruled out.

Chicago has five players who are questionable against the Packers: tight end Cole Kmet (knee), cornerback Kyler Gordon (calf), running back Khalil Herbert (back), center Lucas Patrick (calf) and long snapper Patrick Scales (foot).

The good news? Wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent (illness) practiced in full and have no injury designation for Sunday.

Here’s a look at the injury report for the Bears and Packers after Friday’s practices:
