Bears Week 3 Inactives: No Jaylon Johnson vs. Texans

The Chicago Bears defense received good and bad news with the list of inactive players for Week 3 against the Houston Texans.

Linebacker Roquan Smith will play despite a hip injury that had his status in doubt this week. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson, meanwhile, is out with a quad injury.

Here’s the complete list of Bears inactives, including rookie wide receiver Velus Jones Jr., who’ll have to wait another week to make his NFL debut:

• WR Velus Jones Jr.
• CB Jaylon Johnson
• OL Ja’Tyre Cater
• CB Dane Cruikshank
• LB Matt Adams
• TE Ryan Griffin

The Texans are healthier for Sunday’s showdown but still have a handful of players who won’t suit up:

• TE Brevin Jordan
• WR Tyler Johnson
• DB Isaac Yiadom
• LB Jake Hansen
• OL Austin Deculus
• DL Kurt Hinish
