Who Should I Start? Kyler Gordon or Jack Jones

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.

The New England Patriots are waiving cornerback Jack Jones on Monday, according to his agent. Jones, a fourth-round selection in last year's draft, played only 10 snaps on defense in the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany on Sunday. Jones has missed five games this year due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on Injured Reserve, and he's seen his playing time decrease since coming back in Week 7. In 18 total games (two starts) for New England the last two seasons, he has 42 tackles (33 solo), three tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), seven passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 25-year-old should be able to latch on with another team quickly.
