Kyler Gordon Placed On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed cornerback Kyler Gordon (hand) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and promoted cornerback Greg Stroman Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Gordon injured his hand in the Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out in the second half. The 23-year-old defensive back will now be forced to sit out the next four games. With Gordon out for a bit, Terell Smith and Stroman will compete for playing time in Chicago's secondary. Gordon, a second-round selection last year out of Washington, had 71 tackles (55 solo), three interceptions, six passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 14 starts in his rookie campaign.
