Bears head coach Matt Eberflus has made it clear that he’s experimenting with different combinations at multiple positions. While the offensive line has dominated headlines, we’re starting to see the same happening in the secondary.
At this point, it’s clear that cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and rookie Kyler Gordon will be starters when the season kicks off. Johnson will be CB1 on the outside, but it’s Gordon’s role that’s still being determined.
Since the start of training camp, Gordon has been splitting reps between the outside and in the slot. Given he played both positions in college, the coaches want to see where he fits best — but also how that would impact a starting groping.
