Bears Injury Report: Multiple Players Ruled Out for Panthers Game

Key Contributors to Miss Sunday's Matchup

The Chicago Bears have released their official injury report for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, and it's not good news for the team. Several key contributors have been ruled out, including quarterback Justin Fields, wide receiver Darnell Mooney, and cornerback Jaylon Johnson.

Justin Fields Out with Shoulder Injury

Fields suffered a separated left shoulder in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and will not play this week. Trevor Siemian is expected to start in his place.

Darnell Mooney Out with Ankle Injury

Mooney suffered a high ankle sprain in the same game and will also miss Sunday's game. Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis are expected to see increased playing time in his absence.

Jaylon Johnson Out with Quad Injury

Johnson suffered a quadriceps injury in practice this week and will not play on Sunday. Kindle Vildor is expected to start in his place.

Other Injuries

In addition to the three players ruled out, the Bears also have several other players listed as questionable for Sunday's game, including running back David Montgomery (ankle), wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee), and defensive end Robert Quinn (back).

Impact on the Game

The injuries to Fields, Mooney, and Johnson are a major blow to the Bears' chances of winning on Sunday. Fields is the team's most important player, and his absence will be felt on both offense and defense. Mooney is the team's leading receiver, and his absence will make it difficult for the Bears to move the ball through the air. Johnson is one of the team's best cornerbacks, and his absence will make it difficult for the Bears to stop the Panthers' passing attack.

Looking Ahead

The Bears will need to find a way to overcome these injuries if they want to win on Sunday. Siemian will need to play well in place of Fields, and the Bears' defense will need to step up in the absence of Johnson. If the Bears can do those things, they have a chance to win. But it will be an uphill battle.
