The Bears have survived without cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Buster Skrine the past two weeks, but the prospect of facing Aaron Rodgers without them Sunday would present a much bigger challenge for their replacements, rookie Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley.
Neither Johnson nor Skrine participated in Wednesday’s walk-through at the Payton Center. Johnson has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury he suffered against the Texans. Skrine has missed the last three games with a concussion.
Johnson, a second-round draft pick from Utah, had 15 pass break-ups in his 12 complete games this season. He had a tackle-for-loss and a pass break-up against the Packers on Nov.
