Bears Open Return Windows for Kyler Gordon, Braxton Jones Ahead of Packers Wild Card

Evaluations this week will determine any activation for Saturday's playoff game.

Overview

  • The team designated Gordon (groin) and Jones (knee) to return from injured reserve, allowing them to practice and potentially be activated for Green Bay, with Jones offering possible left-tackle depth.
  • C.J. Gardner-Johnson is in the NFL concussion protocol, creating uncertainty at the nickel spot for Chicago’s secondary.
  • The Bears scheduled a walk-through Tuesday followed by practices Wednesday and Thursday to gauge readiness for roster moves.
  • Under NFL rules, a return designation opens a 21-day practice window, and players must still be activated to the 53-man roster to play in a game.
  • If Gordon and Gardner-Johnson are unavailable, Nick McCloud is the next option to handle slot duties.
