Following the Chicago Bears’ game against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Ben Johnson was asked about the injury that saw nickleback Kyler Gordon land on injured reserve on Saturday.
“We’re hoping it’s going to be of the short-term variety, so we should be able to get him back,” Johnson said. “But yeah, it’s another soft tissue injury that we’re dealing with.”
If able, the soonest Gordon could come off IR would be for Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Gordon worked through a hamstring injury earlier this season that kept him out of Chicago’s first four games, and this latest setback, which occurred at practice, was listed as groin/calf on the week’s injury report. In the two games he played in, he had six tackles, one tackle for loss, a sack, and a fumble recovery, while playing in 66% of the snaps on defense.
In other Bears’ injury news from the Ravens game, defensive end Dominique Robinson injured his knee on the opening kickoff and did not return. Rookie defensive tackle Shemar Turner left the field on a cart with a knee injury. Rookie wide receiver Luthur Burden III left the game with a concussion, and Johnson said they were looking at wideout Olamide Zaccheaus’ knee after the big hit he took late in the game.
