Johnson is done for the season.

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was one of their last good players still standing, and now he’s gone too.

The Bears surprisingly put Johnson and fellow corner Kindle Vildor on injured reserve Friday, which means they’ll miss the final three games. Johnson was listed as questionable to play against the Bills on Saturday because of rib and finger injuries, but had talked excitedly this week about facing star wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Thursday the main concern was Johnson’s finger, but wouldn’t say whether it was broken.
