Bears' Injury Concerns: Kyler Gordon's Status

Bears coach Ben Johnson expressed frustration with cornerback Kyler Gordon's ongoing injury struggles, particularly after Gordon suffered a groin injury just 90 minutes before a game against the Packers.

Johnson noted that with Gordon missing significant time due to previous soft-tissue injuries, it has impeded the coaching staff's ability to evaluate him fully on the field. Gordon initially appeared on the injury report with a hamstring injury before the season opener, later landing on injured reserve in mid-October due to groin and calf injuries, and only returned to play against the Eagles on November 28.

Johnson emphasized the need to utilize all available resources to address Gordon's injury issues and help him return to health, highlighting the challenges posed by the recurring nature of soft-tissue injuries.

These injury concerns not only impact Gordon's personal development but also raise questions about the Bears' overall performance and playoff aspirations as they navigate the season without key players.
