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.

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.

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.

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.

Rotowire

A mid-August hamstring injury has kept Gordon sidelined for the Bears' first three games of the regular season.

Rotowire

Gordon has missed the first two games of the season, and coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Gordon is considered week-to-week.

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Gordon is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bears' week of practice due to a hamstring injury.

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.

Rotowire
Gordon and the Bears agreed on a three-year, $40 million contract extension with $31.25 million guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gordon will stick around Chicago for the foreseeable future after securing a new deal Sunday. The cornerback is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he compiled 75 total tackles (48 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games.

After picking off five passes in his first two seasons, the cornerback failed to secure any this season.
