Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon works away from team to recover
Summary

Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon is currently training away from the team under the guidance of a private trainer. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the cornerback is focused on accelerating his recovery from an undisclosed injury. Gordon missed all offseason workouts, including organized team activities and mini camp, before being placed on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp. He remained sidelined throughout the entirety of the preseason. The organization expects him to return to practice a few weeks into the regular season. Gordon, who signed a three-year, $40 million contract extension last year, struggled with multiple ailments throughout the previous season, appearing in only three games. He rejoined the roster for the postseason, where he recorded 10 tackles and two passes defensed.
