On Saturday, the Chicago Bears made the expected move of placing starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson on injured reserve with a groin injury, and they also unexpectedly placed reserve offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie on IR.

Amegadjie was listed as limited at Wednesday’s practice with an elbow injury, and he did not practice on Thursday or Friday. He was inactive for the first two games this season.

Johnson missed much of the offseason after injuring himself working out on his own before training camp, and he only played 20 snaps last week in his season debut before exiting. Initial reports were that he would miss significant time, but the Bears haven’t set a timetable.

Both players would be eligible to come off IR after four games.
