Dealing with injury
Gordon (heel) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Gordon played a smaller percentage of defensive snaps in Week 5's win over the Panthers than he's used to, so it's likely he picked up the injury during that matchup. The Bears only held a walkthrough in London on Wednesday, so his participation is just an estimate. He'll work to ramp up his activity Thursday or Friday; however, if he's unable to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Josh Blackwell would likely handle nickel corner duties.

Stats not availableExpected to be primary slot corner
Gordon played as the third cornerback behind Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson last year, and will likely retain a similar role in 2024.
After Gordon played 823 snaps as a rookie, Gordon was moved into the No.3 role, resulting in a drop to 623 snaps. With the expectation of a similar snap share this season, Gordon's IDP value will likely be capped due to playing time.
Concludes second season in Chicago
Gordon tallied three tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
After Gordon played 823 snaps as a rookie, Chicago drafted cornerback Tyrique Stevenson in the 2023 draft, which pushed Gordon into the No.3 role, resulting in a fall to 623 snaps. In 14 games, the second-year corner posted 61 tackles, two interceptions and one sack. Gordon will enter the 2024 season in the third of a four-year contract.
Playing Sunday
Gordon (calf) is active Sunday against the Packers.
Gordon tweaked his calf in practice Thursday, which landed him on the injury report and put his Week 18 status into question. However, the second-year pro has recovered quickly enough that'll he be on the field for the Bears' last game of the season.
Questionable with calf injury
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Harrison Graham of ChatSports.com reports.
Per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, coach Matt Eberflus said Gordon "tweaked" his calf Thursday but is "hopefully trending in the right direction." If he's sidelined for Week 18, rookie fifth-rounder Terell Smith could see an expanded role.
Picks off second pass of season
Gordon recorded three tackles and an interception in the Bears' 37-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Coming into this game, Gordon had recorded at least seven tackles in four of his last six games, but despite his low tackle total, he bailed out his fantasy investors by nabbing his second interception of the year. Based on his recent performances, Gordon will be considered a middling IDP option in Week 18 at Green Bay.
Collects first sack of season
Gordon recorded eight tackles and a sack in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday.
Gordon has posted at least seven tackles in four of his last six games, and he's only had fewer than four tackles on one occasion since Week 6. As a result of his overall production, Gordon will remain a solid-floor IDP option as the season winds down.
Solid tackle total
Gordon tallied seven stops in the Bears' 20-17 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Gordon has posted at least four tackles in eight of his last nine games, and he should remain a solid-floor weekly IDP during the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
Season-high tackle total
Gordon recorded eight tackles in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday.
Gordon has posted between four and eight tackles in each of his last five games, and he should continue to be a high-floor IDP going forward.
