Bears Cornerback Kyler Gordon Out, Grady Jarrett Questionable vs Lions

The Chicago Bears will face the Detroit Lions in Week 2 with several key injury updates impacting their roster. Cornerback Kyler Gordon has been ruled out for the second consecutive game due to a lingering hamstring injury, creating a significant gap in the Bears' secondary, which already suffered from the season-ending injury to reserve Terell Smith. Jaylon Johnson, another cornerback who has been sidelined due to a groin injury, is expected to make his 2025 debut after practicing fully all week, providing a much-needed boost to the defense. Rookie wide receiver Jahdae Walker is doubtful due to an ankle injury, while defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is questionable but showed progress in practice. The Bears signed kicker Jake Moody to their practice squad following struggles by their current kicker. On the Lions side, starting left tackle Taylor Decker and safety Kerby Joseph are questionable, with Decker having missed all week of practice but possibly playing depending on his health on game day.
