Bears WR Darnell Mooney believed to have suffered season-ending ankle injury

It was a brutal day for the Chicago Bears. Not only did they get blown out 31-10 by the New York Jets, but there were a number of significant injuries to key starters.

That includes wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who suffered what’s believed to be a season-ending ankle injury, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Mooney will undergo further testing on Monday.

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mooney likely needs season-ending surgery to repair torn ligaments in his ankle.

In 2022, Mooney caught 40 passes for 493 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games with Chicago.

With Mooney expected to land on season-ending injured reserve, the Bears are down their most consistent receiver. Now, Chicago is left with Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown, Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, N’Keal Harry and rookie Velus Jones Jr. at receiver.
