Gordon’s Return Keeps Defense on Edge | Chicago Bears News

Kyler Gordon’s rehab continues, with no new updates from coach Ben Johnson, despite missing 14 games last season and still not practicing this year. Frustration runs high, especially since Gordon is vital to the defense — veteran T.J. Edwards calls him one of the best at his position, capable of blitzing, covering, and leading. Edwards, who’s been through injury himself, says Gordon’s working hard and ready to play when cleared. Rookie Malik Muhammad is stepping in at nickel with promise, but the team’s defensive hopes rest squarely on Gordon’s return. Once a fan favorite and one of the highest-paid nickel corners, Gordon must prove his value on the field — and the only way to silence the questions is to get healthy and back on the field.
