The Chicago Bears ruled out cornerback Jaylon Johnson (hamstring), safety Eddie Jackson (foot), and Chase Claypool (other) for Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders.
This will be the third game in a row that Jackson has missed with the left foot injury that he suffered on Sept. 17 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Johnson will be missing his second straight game. Offensive lineman Teven Jenkins is listed as questionable (calf) on Wednesday's injury report. "We'll see where he is [Thursday]," Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said. "When he's in that situation, we'll work him out, we'll see where he is, then we'll go from there." Defensive back Jaquan Brisker is also listed questionable with a hamstring injury that he has been battling. "What happened was he tweaked his hamstring in practice, and we'll see where it is," said Eberflus. The Bears (0-4) and Commanders (2-2) will face off at 7:15 p.m. CT on Thursday from FedEx Field.
