Bears coach Ben Johnson was disappointed when cornerback Kyler Gordon suffered yet another soft-tissue injury — this time hurting his groin less than 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday.
“I wish I had a better feel for the individual, but with him being out as much as he has, I haven’t really gotten to see him on the field and competing and get to know him like I’d like to at this point yet,” Johnson said Monday. “I do know that the biggest predictor of a soft tissue injury is having a previous one, and he’s kind of in this rut right now that we’re not able to get out of.
“So we’re going to exhaust all of our resources in and outside of the building to make sure we’re addressing it and doing what we can to get him back and healthy again.”
Gordon was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury one day before the season opener, then was put on injured reserve with groin and calf injuries in mid-October. He returned to face the Eagles on Nov. 28.
