Bears Extend Kyler Gordon

The Chicago Bears and defensive back Kyler Gordon have agreed on a three-year $40 million extension with $31.25 million guaranteed. He'll now be with the team through the 2028 season. The deal makes the 25-year-old the highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL ($13.33 million AAV). Gordon has been solid for the Bears since they took him No. 39 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft -- racking up at least 61 tackles in each of his first three seasons. In 2024, he notched 75 takedowns (48 solo), four tackles for loss, three recovered fumbles, one forced fumble, and a half sack. The Washington product will continue to lock down the nickel spot for Chicago in 2025 and figures to get back in the interception column after picking off five passes in his first two campaigns.

Kyler Gordon Placed On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon (hand) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and promoted cornerback Greg Stroman Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Gordon injured his hand in the Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out in the second half. The 23-year-old defensive back will now be forced to sit out the next four games. With Gordon out for a bit, Terell Smith and Stroman will compete for playing time in Chicago's secondary. Gordon, a second-round selection last year out of Washington, had 71 tackles (55 solo), three interceptions, six passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 14 starts in his rookie campaign.
