Kyler Gordon Injury Update
Kyler Gordon is still on injured reserve right now. He hurt his groin and calf in practice before the Bears played the Ravens in Week 8. The team moved him to the injured list so he had to miss at least four games. People thought he could come back sooner but it is taking some time.
Bears coach Ben Johnson said he expects Gordon to return before the season ends. But nobody knows exactly when he will play again. He was back in the weight room recently so that’s progress. The coach said Gordon's injury should not keep him out long term. They hope to get him back “soon.” That’s the current word.
The Bears need help at cornerback. They already lost Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson too. The defense is thin in the secondary. Gordon’s slot coverage and tackling are missed. The team is watching his recovery closely. For now, Nick McCloud is getting more snaps at slot corner. Gordon’s practice window could open next week. If he’s cleared, he could play as early as Week 12. But no date is set.
People around the team sound hopeful. His stint on injured reserve is supposed to be the “short-term” kind. It’s not a season-ending problem. The staff is careful with his rehab.
If Gordon looks good in practice, the Bears will bring him back quick. The team expects both Gordon and Johnson to suit up before the end of 2025. So right now there’s hope but no guarantee.
That’s where things stand. Gordon’s injury is watched day by day. The Bears want him back soon. Check team updates for more news in the next week or two.
