Kyler Gordon made his return to the Chicago Bears lineup a memorable one Sunday, finishing with three sacks and two forced fumbles despite playing only 17 snaps in the win over Atlanta.
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Bears CB Kyler Gordon was excellent in his return Sunday. But the last year brought delays, uncertainty -- and frustration between the player and team over his calf injury. Inside Gordon's lengthy recovery and how he got back, from @CourtneyRCronin and me:
The efficiency was startling — Ian Rapoport called it wild — and it came in Gordon's first game action in a long time.
The Bears activated Gordon from the physically unable to perform list over the weekend, and Jeremy Fowler reported the cornerback's return was the payoff of a lengthy recovery that included delays, uncertainty and frustration between the player and team over his calf injury.
With three sacks and two forced fumbles on such a limited snap count, Gordon immediately re-established himself as a disruptive presence for Chicago's defense as it heads into Week 7.
