Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson suffered a groin injury that will keep him out indefinitely, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Courtney Cronin reported on Monday.

More information will come out as Chicago learns the severity of Johnson's groin injury. At this point, it's unknown if Johnson will undergo surgery, and it's unclear how much time the Pro Bowler will miss. If anything, he will miss the Bears' Week 3 matchup vs. the Cowboys on Sunday.

Bears coach Ben Johnson noted that his player's injury is a new injury, unrelated to the previous groin issue that kept him out of all of the Bears' training camp, the preseason and the Week 1 matchup vs. the Vikings. He suffered the new injury during Sunday's 52-21 loss to the Lions. Now, he will miss more time.

The cornerback is coming of two consecutive Pro Bowl seasons in Chicago.
