Bears Defense Enters Sunday Without Jaylon Johnson, Deon Bush
4 years agoChicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and safety Deon Bush (foot) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Johnson has been a staple of the Bears Defense as a rookie, having been removed from last week's contest due to a shoulder ailment. The team will likely rely on Kindle Vildor in an expanded capacity Sunday to attempt to corral Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, while the absence of Bush also decreases the team's depth in the secondary. Irrespective of Johnson and Bush's injuries, Chicago's defense remains an above-average unit in Week 15 due to the team's propensity for sacks, in addition to having held the Vikings to 19 points the last time that the teams matched up this season.
