Bears' Kyler Gordon Lands on Injured Reserve
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Kyler Gordon placed on injured reserve with groin issues.
- Gordon must miss a minimum of four weeks.
- Bears hope for playoff return, but it's not guaranteed.
The Chicago Bears have placed cornerback Kyler Gordon on the injured reserve list, dealing a significant blow to their secondary. Gordon has been sidelined for much of the season with persistent groin problems. His placement on the IR mandates a minimum four-week absence, with only four weeks left in the regular season.
Despite this challenging news, the Bears' defensive backfield has been a bright spot this season, leading the league in turnovers. The team is optimistic that Gordon might be able to return in time for the playoffs, although this remains uncertain. The secondary has shown resilience even with previous injuries.
With other key players like Jaylon Johnson back, Tyreke Stevenson nearing a return, Kevin Byard anchoring safety, and Nahshon Wright performing exceptionally, the secondary is expected to maintain its high level of play. The depth of the unit offers hope that Gordon's absence will not derail their postseason aspirations.
