Chicago Bears Activate Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon Off Injured Reserve
Cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon practiced fully and could return from injured reserve to strengthen the Bears' defense against a top Eagles receiving corps.
- On Friday, the Chicago Bears will activate cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon off injured reserve for their game against the Philadelphia Eagles after both fully practiced Wednesday and the team plans a Thursday roster move.
- After separate injuries, both players faced lengthy recoveries: Jaylon Johnson suffered a major adductor injury at UNLV in July and had surgery in September, while Kyler Gordon missed the opener and played two games.
- Coach Ben Johnson said the team steadily increased reps and will be cautious with game action, while Tyrique Stevenson was ruled out Nov. 23, making the corners' return crucial.
- Reinforcements are on the way as the Bears bolster their secondary against DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown, while thin linebacker depth shifts more responsibility onto backups.
- This Black Friday matchup at 3 p.m. ET features the Chicago Bears, who have won six of their last seven games while holding opponents to 26.5 points, against the Philadelphia Eagles offense averaging 23.4 points.
