Starting cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon will be back on the Bears roster in time to face the defending champion Eagles on Friday.
The Bears will activate both from injured reserve later Thursday, NFL Network reported. The Bears had to activate them Thursday for them to be eligible to play Friday.
Both were full participants in practice all week, though coach Ben Johnson was in no rush to make declarations about either.
Slot cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson tipped the team’s hand for Johnson when he praised him Wednesday, calling him one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks.
