Booker has a groin injury and his status is "week-to-week," Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The defensive end suffered the groin injury during a joint practice with the Bengals on Aug. 20 and has not practiced since then. His status for Week 1 against the Panthers on Sept. 13 appears to be in doubt. Booker started 11 of the 12 combined regular-season and postseason games he played in last year, and he should take on a similar role in 2026 once he's healthy again.
