"BALTIMORE -- The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon and offensive tackle Braxton Jones on injured reserve on Saturday. Both players will be sidelined for a minimum of four games and are eligible to return ahead of Chicago's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both players were ruled out on the team's final injury report. Gordon, who missed Chicago's first four games with a hamstring injury, showed up on the injury report on Thursday with groin and calf injuries."
"Jones, who was replaced as the Bears' starting left tackle in Week 6, has a knee injury. The former fifth round pick was benched before halftime of Chicago's win against Las Vegas and was replaced by Theo Benedet. Gordon's injury is a significant blow to an already banged up secondary. The Bears have been without Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson (core muscle) since a Week 2 loss at Detroit and will also not have cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) in Baltimore."
