Chicago Bears star Kyler Gordon has become one of, if not the best, slot corner in the NFL. Back in April, Gordon signed a three-year $40 million contract extension. keeping him with the team through the 2028 season. This extension has made Gordon the highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL.
With Dennis Allen running the defense, it is highly expected that Gordon has a massive 2025 season. The former 2022 second-round pick suffered a hamstring issue before week one of the preseason. Gordon has not been practicing since before the joint practices the Bears had with the Miami Dolphins.
According to Brad Biggs, the star cornerback has finally returned to practice.

The defensive back returns at a much-needed time for Chicago. Starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson has still not returned from the injury he suffered before camp. However, Ben Johnson confirmed that Johnson will likely be ready before Week 1’s showdown against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bears also suffered a huge blow to their secondary depth on Wednesday. It was announced that Terell Smith will be out for the entire 2025 season following a knee injury he suffered during this past Sunday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
Gordon returns to the team at a much-needed time. It’s great that Gordon will be 100 percent ready for the start of the regular season.
