The Chicago Bears opened the 21-day practice window on Tuesday for cornerback Kyler Gordon and offensive lineman Braxton Jones.

The pair initially went on injured reserve on Oct. 25 as Gordon dealt with groin and calf injuries and Jones nursed a knee injury.

Gordon, 26, returned to play in one game before being placed again on injured reserve Dec. 13. He has recorded seven tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery in three appearances.

'The hope,' per head coach Ben Johnson, is for Gordon to return to practice this week. Fellow defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson is in concussion protocol.

Gordon has totaled 214 tackles, five interceptions, five fumble recoveries and 2.5 sacks in 45 career games (35 starts) since being drafted by the Bears in the second round in 2022.

Jones, 26, has played in six games (four starts) this season and 46 games (44 starts) since being selected by Chicago in the fifth round in 2022.

The Bears (11-6) won the NFC North and host the Green Bay Packers in Saturday night's wild-card game.
