CHICAGO (670 The Score) — Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson, nickelback Kyler Gordon and linebacker T.J. Edwards are each inactive for the Bears in their season opener against the Vikings on Monday evening.
Johnson has been dealing with injuries to his groin and calf, which he suffered while training in July. He returned to practice last week, acknowledging that it was an uphill battle to play Monday.
Without Johnson, the Bears will likely turn to Nahshon Wright at cornerback.
Gordon suffered a hamstring injury late during the week of practice and was added to the injury report Saturday. Edwards suffered a hamstring injury nearly three weeks ago in practice.
The Bears' other inactives are quarterback Case Keenum, defensive lineman Shemar Turner, running back Roschon Johnson and offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie.
Kickoff between the Bears and Vikings will come at 7:15 p.m. CT from Soldier Field.
