Chicago Bears Kyler Gordon injury saga

Entities: Kyler Gordon · Dennis Allen · Chicago Bears

Overview

In mid‑July, the Bears evaluated the future of cornerback Kyler Gordon after a soft‑tissue injury limited him to five games in the 2025 season. With a three‑year, $40 million contract through 2028, the team considered trading him to avoid an $8‑10 million financial burden if his health did not improve.

Ten days later, the Bears placed Gordon on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list as training camp opened. The move followed another soft‑tissue setback that kept him out of a June minicamp and added to a season in which he missed 14 of 19 games due to groin and other lower‑body issues. The team turned to other defensive backs to fill his slot, while unverified rumors about nightlife and possible cocaine use circulated online but were not confirmed by the club or the player.
