Injuries continue to mount for Bears secondary

The Chicago Bears were embarrassed by the Kansas City Chiefs, 41-10, where things quickly spiraled out of control. To make matters worse, Chicago lost a couple key starters in the process.

A depleted Bears secondary got thinner with cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson exiting the game with injuries.

Stevenson left the game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion after a big hit on Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco near the goal line. While Stevenson did come back in for a play, he soon exited the game again. He was replaced by fellow rookie Terell Smith.

Johnson suffered a hamstring injury later in the second quarter. While he tried to play through it, he eventually was ruled out with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Jaylon Jones.

Even reserve nickel cornerback Josh Blackwell reaggravated a hamstring injury during the game.

The Bears were already without starting safety Eddie Jackson, who suffered a foot injury last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon, who was placed on injured reserve two weeks ago with a broken hand.

Right now, Chicago’s secondary is in shambles.
