Bears notes: Rookies Kyler Gordon, Jaquan Brisker out vs. Jets

Brisker has been one of the best rookies in the NFL this season.

Other than quarterback Justin Fields, the last players the Bears want to miss time are rookie defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker — their prized second-round picks.

Both will miss the Jets game Sunday because of concussions they suffered last week against the Falcons. They’ve started every game and been on the field for more than 96% of the defensive plays.

That means a defense that’s struggling to keep opponents under 30 points each game is going without two of its best players.
