Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the Chicago Bears furious with Kyler Gordon?
The Bears are furious with Gordon and reportedly with his entire team as well. The belief is that he is either receiving bad advice from those around him or undergoing an ineffective recovery process, or possibly both.
What injuries has Kyler Gordon been dealing with?
Gordon has been dealing with multiple soft tissue injuries that caused him to miss most of last season. He is now on course to miss his third week of training camp with no signs of a return being imminent.
Could the Bears cut Kyler Gordon over this situation?
Some believe the Bears would have already cut him if not for his recent contract extension, which would saddle the team with a severe cap penalty. However, the Bears do have the option to simply not play him.
Who are the Bears looking at to replace Kyler Gordon at nickel corner?
The Bears have been exploring Cam Lewis, who has nickel corner experience from his time in Buffalo, fourth-round pick Malik Muhammad, and free agent addition Beanie Bishop, who started in the slot for Pittsburgh in 2024.
What happens if Kyler Gordon does not return to training camp soon?
Next week was described as pivotal for the entire situation, strongly suggesting that if Gordon does not return by then, he may not have a job to come back to. If the coaches lose trust in him, it would virtually guarantee his release next offseason regardless of his health.
