Bears Weigh Activating Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon for Eagles Game After Full Practices

The decision hinges on a Thursday roster move under NFL injured-reserve rules.

Overview

  • Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon were full participants in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, positioning them to return this week.
  • Both cornerbacks remain on injured reserve and must be added to the 53-man roster by Thursday to be eligible to play Friday against Philadelphia.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson said the team has a plan for their returns but declined to confirm whether either will be activated.
  • C.J. Gardner-Johnson suggested Johnson will be active this week, a comment that has not been confirmed by the team.
  • The Bears added defensive lineman Gervon Dexter to the injury report as limited with a hand issue, while several others, including T.J. Edwards and Tyrique Stevenson, did not practice.
