On Saturday afternoon, the Chicago Bears activated nickelback Kyler Gordon to the 53-man roster. Gordon had his 21-day practice window opened on October 9 for the team to assess his readiness following a four-game stint on injured reserve for a broken hand, and he showed them plenty at Halas Hall this week. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant on Friday.
“We’re excited where he is,” head coach Matt Eberflus said on Friday via the team’s site. “That nickel spot is a big spot for us, and he’s done a good job with that.
