Kyler Gordon starts Bears training camp on PUP list with calf injury
Summary

Chicago Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon will miss training camp as he starts on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to a calf injury. After appearing in only three games last season due to groin and calf issues, Gordon's ongoing health concerns have frustrated head coach Ben Johnson. Johnson emphasized the need for Gordon to 'get healthy' amid uncertainty regarding his recovery timeline. Gordon, a second-round draft pick, is a significant player in the Bears' defensive plans but has played in only 45 of 68 games in his career. The team relies on his presence, especially as the preseason approaches.
