Bears Place Kyler Gordon on Injured Reserve, Ending His Regular Season

The designation triggers a mandatory four-week absence, leaving only a potential postseason return.

Overview

  • Chicago announced the move Saturday and elevated running back Brittain Brown and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin for Sunday’s game against the Browns.
  • Gordon suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups on Dec. 7 at Lambeau Field and had already been ruled out for Week 15.
  • This is his second IR stint of the year after earlier hamstring and calf/groin issues, limiting him to three appearances.
  • Tyrique Stevenson practiced fully and is set to return, with Jaylon Johnson active and C.J. Gardner-Johnson expected to handle slot duties.
  • The Bears are 9-4 entering Week 15 and remain in playoff position, with Gordon eligible to come back only if they reach the postseason.
