The Bears are getting back their starter at one of the most important positions in Matt Eberflus’ defense.
Nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will play Sunday against the Vikings. Gordon broke his hand in the season opener against the Packers, had surgery and returned to practice this week. The Bears had three weeks after his first practice to activate him off IR.
Gordon could solve some of the Bears’ pass coverage issues — and figures to help with the pass rush, too.
