"The Chicago Bears secondary is getting some much-needed reinforcements ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon were activated off injured reserve prior to the Bears' flight to Philadelphia on Thursday. Johnson and Gordon were both designated as questionable to play on the team's final injury report. Johnson has missed all but one half of the season when he sustained an injury to his core muscle in the second quarter of Chicago's Week 2 loss at Detroit."
"Gordon has played in two games this season after a hamstring injury forced him to miss Weeks 1-4 and subsequent calf and groin injuries landed him on injured reserve ahead of Week 8. None of Chicago's starting cornerbacks have played together this season. Johnson and Gordon's activation comes at an important time given the Bears will be without fellow cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, who was ruled out with a hip injury sustained against Pittsburgh on Nov. 23."
Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon were activated off injured reserve and listed questionable ahead of the Bears' trip to Philadelphia. Johnson missed most of the season after sustaining a core muscle injury in Week 2, underwent surgery in September and returned to practice nine weeks later. Gordon has played two games after missing early weeks with a hamstring injury and then suffering calf and groin issues that led to injured reserve. No pair of Chicago's starting cornerbacks have appeared together this season and Tyrique Stevenson remains out with a hip injury. The team plans to limit reps and gradually increase game action to acclimate the returning defensive backs.
