He had just returned from the same injury that kept him out of training camp, the preseason and the Bears’ season opener.
The team is still determining whether he’ll need surgery and how long he’ll miss.
Dig deeper:
Johnson’s setback comes as Chicago continues to struggle under new head coach Ben Johnson, who was hired away from Detroit to help No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams develop and finally stabilize the quarterback position.
Instead, the Bears have opened the season with back-to-back losses, including blowing a late lead against Minnesota in Week 1 and getting routed by the Lions in Week 2.
“We have a lot of prideful guys,” head coach Ben Johnson said after Sunday’s loss. “We’re two games into the season. We’re committed to getting this thing right. I have a lot of belief in them.”
