The Chicago Bears are getting two of their veterans back to practice before their wild card playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers. On Tuesday, the Bears designated cornerback Kyler Gordon (groin) and offensive tackle Braxton Jones (knee) to return to practice from injured reserve.
Gordon hit injured reserve for the second time during the regular season when he re-aggravated a groin injury during warmups against the Packers in Week 14. The fourth-year defensive back has played in just three games all season long, but the hope is he's healthy enough to play on Saturday to aid a struggling secondary.

Jones, meanwhile, hasn't played since Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. He opened the season as the starting left tackle but lost his job to Theo Benedet in Week 6 due to ineffectiveness. His return, however, would add valuable depth to the offensive line if he's healthy enough to play Saturday. The Bears take on the Packers Saturday night at 7 p.m. CT on Prime.
