In a stunner, the Bears will not have top pass rusher Montez Sweat and slot cornerback Kyler Gordon available Sunday due to injuries after both had trended positive.
The Bears defense will need to get by without leading pass rusher Montez Sweat as well as slot cornerback Kyler Gordon when they face the Arizona Cardinals Sunday afternoon.
The defense is already going to be without cornerback Tyrique Stevenson at the outside, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. And safety Jaquan Brisker is out due to a concussion. Josh Blackwell will replace Gordon, and the Bears elevated Reddy Steward from the practice squad in case of another injury at the slot cornerback position.It's unclear how long Stevenson would be out of the game at the outset, but if he is out then the Bears would be without three of their five starting secondary players.
