The Chicago Bears released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens — and it’s a brutal one. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will have his hands full as the Bears will be without several key starters on both sides of the ball, including four of their top cornerbacks.
Injury Report Overview
Here’s the full rundown from Friday’s injury report:
| Player | Position | Injury | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kyler Gordon | CB | Groin/Calf | Out |
| Roschon Johnson | RB | Back | Out |
| Braxton Jones | OT | Knee | Out |
| Cole Kmet | TE | Back | Out |
| Tyrique Stevenson | CB | Shoulder | Out |
| D’Andre Swift | RB | Groin | Questionable |
| Austin Booker | DL | Knee | Questionable |
| Amen Ogbongbemiga | LB | Knee | Questionable |
| Cairo Santos | K | Right Thigh | Questionable |
| Tremaine Edmunds | LB | Ankle | - |
| Grady Jarrett | DL | Knee | - |
| DJ Moore | WR | Hip | - |
| Joe Thuney | OL | Rest | - |
| Nahshon Wright | CB | Hip | Expected to Play |
Defensive Concerns
The biggest headline is the cornerback crisis. The Bears will be without Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson, both ruled out with soft-tissue injuries. With Jaylon Johnson already on IR, and Nahshon Wright still nursing a hip issue despite being cleared, Allen will be forced to dig deep into the depth chart. Expect a heavy rotation of backups against a Baltimore offense likely led by Lamar Jackson as he was a full participant on Friday.
Offensive Setbacks
On offense, Chicago will also be missing important contributors. Braxton Jones (knee) and Cole Kmet (back) are both out. Roschon Johnson’s absence means D’Andre Swift — who’s dealing with a groin injury and listed as questionable — could be a game-time decision. If Swift can’t go, get ready for a heavy dose of rookie RB Kyle Monangai who looked great last week.
Simply put, this is one of the most injury-depleted rosters the Bears have fielded all season — and the timing couldn’t be worse. Facing a desperate 1-5 Ravens team on the road with Lamar Jackson likely back, Allen’s defense will need to play nearly perfect football to give Chicago a fighting chance. Otherwise it might fall on Caleb Williams and the offense to win a shootout.
