The Chicago Bears are placing two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) and backup guard Kiran Amegadije (elbow) on injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
Both will miss the team's next four games as a result of the move.
Last Sunday, Johnson aggravated the injury that limited him during the offseason. He left the game against the Detroit Lions after diving to break up a pass intended for Amon-Ra St. Brown. Johnson remained on the turf at Ford Field after the whistle and was helped to the sideline by team trainers.
Last week, Johnson described the severity of the injury that limited him throughout the offseason to 'The Pivot' podcast, saying he tore his adductor muscle from the pelvic bone. He was on the non-football injury list in training camp and said the injury occurred while training.
Johnson, 26, has recorded 216 tackles and seven interceptions -- including one returned for a touchdown -- in 71 career games (all starts) since being selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
As a corresponding move, the Bears signed defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon to the active roster and elevated defensive back Dallis Flowers and linebacker Carl Jones Jr. from the practice squad for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Kpassagnon, 31, has appeared in 106 games over the last nine seasons. He has 17.5 sacks, nine pass breakups and two forced fumbles along with 144 total tackles.
