Bears coach Matt Eberflus isn’t worried about injuries at this point in the year, but some of his key players have been on the sideline during mandatory minicamp.

Cornerback Kyler Gordon was the latest to miss practice, sitting out Thursday because of a lower back injury. Eberflus wasn’t sure whether he got hurt in practice Wednesday, but said he woke up Thursday morning with soreness.

He dismissed it as a minor injury, especially given that the team’s next full practice is about six weeks away.

Bears tight end Cole Kmet was out for the second consecutive day, and the team also sat wide receiver Tyler Scott and rookie defensive end Austin Booker.
