McCloud (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams.

McCloud didn't practice all week with an apparent groin injury, so it's no surprise he won't play in Sunday's playoff contest. While the Notre Dame product is sidelined, expect C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Josh Blackwell to operate as the Bears' top slot corners during the divisional round.
