Bears' Kyler Gordon: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Gordon remains on injured reserve, but the ability to log a practice in any capacity is a good sign for the cornerback's chances to suit up for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Packers. The 26-year-old's season was derailed by injuries, and he only participated in three games this season, logging 117 defensive snaps for seven tackles (two solo). The healthy return of Gordon could bolster the Bears' secondary as they head into a tough elimination game against a familiar opponent.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Designated to return
Rotowire
Gordon (groin) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday.
The 26-year-old from Washington appeared in just three regular-season games this season due to hamstring and groin injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return. If activated to Chicago's active roster, Gordon could suit up for the Bears' wild-card matchup against the Packers on Saturday. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability for this weekend.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Could have practice window opened
Rotowire
Head coach Ben Johnson said Monday that "the hope" is to open the 21-day practice window for Gordon (groin) this week, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Gordon has missed the minimum four games required while on injured reserve, which makes him eligible to be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Packers. The 2022 second-rounder appears to be in the final stage of his recovery from a groin injury, but he would need to be activated from IR in order to play for the Bears in the postseason.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Moves back to IR
Rotowire
The Bears placed Gordon (groin) on injured reserve Saturday.
Gordon previously spent time on IR with a calf injury that left him sidelined until the Week 13 win over Philadelphia. The 2022 second-round pick then missed last week's loss to the Packers after he sustained a groin injury during pre-game warmups, and he had already been ruled out for this Sunday's contest versus the Browns. Gordon will now shift back to IR for the remainder of the regular season, though he'll be eligible to return to the active roster if the 9-4 Bears qualify for the playoffs.

Gordon didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a groin injury. The Washington product has appeared in just three contests this season, recording seven total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. While he remains out Sunday, Jaylon Johnson and Nahshon Wright are likely to operate as Chicago's top boundary corners.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Another full practice
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Gordon has only been able to suit up for two games this season while dealing with a few lower-body injuries. He's logged three full practices since being designated to return dating back to last week, suggesting his return Friday against the Eagles is a realistic possibility.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Returning in Week 12?
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
The Washington product upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full go Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, he must be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. If Gordon returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as one of Chicago's top slot defenders.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Gordon practiced for the first time Wednesday since being placed on Chicago's injured reserve list ahead of Week 8 at Baltimore, so it's not a big surprise he wasn't back up to full speed. Unless he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Practice window opens
Rotowire
Gordon (groin/calf) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
The Washington product has missed Chicago's last four games due to groin and calf injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return. He now has 21 days to be added to the Bears' active roster before reverting to IR. Gordon has been an integral part of Chicago's secondary, recording 75 total tackles, five passes defensed and one forced fumble over 15 appearances in 2024. He's been limited to just two games this season, but once fully healthy, he's likely to reclaim his role as the team's top slot corner.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Participates in Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of the Bears' practice session Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Gordon missed the first four games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during training camp in mid-August. His ability to participate in Tuesday's unofficial practice is a positive sign for the 2022 second-rounder, and with the Bears on a bye for Week 5, he could make his 2025 debut in Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 13.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
A mid-August hamstring injury has kept Gordon sidelined for the Bears' first three games of the regular season. He's unlikely to play against the Raiders on Sunday unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Nick McCloud should continue to see additional snaps in the Bears' secondary for as long as Gordon is sidelined.

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
A hamstring injury prevented Gordon from playing in the Bears' regular-season opener against the Vikings on Monday. He has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and a missed practice Friday would likely rule him out for Week 2 against the Lions on Sunday. Nick McCloud would be in line to see additional snaps out of the slot corner for a second consecutive week if Gordon is not cleared to play.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Gordonis is currently dealing with a soft tissue injury to his lower body, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Gordon totaled 75 tackles (45 solo) in 15 games with the Bears last season and is in line to be a starter once again should he be healthy for the start of the regular season. Should he end up being sidelined for an extended period of time, Josh Blackwell could see extended playing time.
