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.
