Windy City Gridiron
The Chicago Bears have made a few roster moves ahead of their Wild Card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. First, they activated Kyler Gordon from injured reserve to the 53-man roster. Grodon’s return comes at the perfect time, as the player who was playing nickelback in his place, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, is sidelined with concussion symptoms. Gordon has appeared in just three games this season, but the Bears won all three of them.
The Bears had an opening on the active roster, so they didn’t need to release anyone to accommodate the transaction.
Offensive lineman Braxton Jones, who was also in his 21-day practice window, remains on injured reserve and has technically been downgraded to out for the game.
Chicago also elevated tight end Nikola Kalinic and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin to the active roster from the practice squad.
We’ll find out which players are active for the game 90 minutes before the 7:00 p.m. CT kickoff, so stay tuned.
