The Bears are getting some defensive reinforcements just in time for Saturday night’s playoff game against the rival Packers.
As expected, cornerback Kyler Gordon was activated from injured reserve before the 3 p.m. Saturday deadline to do so. Gordon missed the last four games because of a groin injury he suffered warming up for the Bears’ first rivalry game in early December at Lambeau Field.
The Bears had an open 53-man roster spot in which to put Gordon. They also promoted tight end Nikola Kalinic and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin; both figure to play special teams.
