Overview
- The Bears on Tuesday designated cornerback Kyler Gordon and offensive tackle Braxton Jones to return from injured reserve, opening their 21-day practice windows.
- To be eligible to face the Packers, either player must be activated to the 53-man roster after this week’s evaluations.
- Chicago scheduled a walk-through Tuesday and practices Wednesday and Thursday to determine Gordon’s status for the wild-card game.
- Gordon has been limited to three games and 117 defensive snaps this season after hamstring, calf and groin issues and two IR stints.
- Jones, out since Week 7 with a knee injury, would primarily bolster offensive line depth if cleared to return.
