Injuries impacting Bears at cornerback


Borders was signed to the Bears practice squad Nov. 22 and added to the active roster Dec. 24. He was active but did not play against the Bills and then was inactive versus the Lions.

Prior to joining the Bears, Borders played in 31 games with six starts for the Bills (2017), Jaguars (2018-19), Commanders (2019), Titans (2020-21) and Cardinals (2022), compiling 42 tackles, one tackle-for-loss, one interception, seven pass breakups and one fumble recovery.

Borders entered the NFL in 2017 with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent from Duke. He has also spent time with the Texans, Steelers and Dolphins.

The Bears claimed Hand off waivers from the Giants Sept. 13. He has appeared in three games this season, with his most playing time coming last Sunday against the Lions when he was on the field for 40 defensive snaps and recorded three tackles and one pass breakup.
