Are Bears’ Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson receiving bad medical advice?
Kyler Gordon is on the IR and away from the Bears. The Bears aren’t happy about it. Is Gordon’s personal trainer the reason why?
In a recent development involving the Chicago Bears, concerns have arisen regarding the medical advice given to players Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson. Brad Biggs, a Bears analyst, revealed that he spoke with Montel Fleming, who is working with Gordon away from the team. Fleming, who goes by the name "Dr. Moe," discussed Gordon's treatment plan with Biggs.
Dan Bernstein, formerly of The Score and now of 312 Sports, investigated Fleming further and found that he has no medical degrees, multiple aliases, and a criminal record with seven different entries. Fleming's websites no longer exist or do not mention him, and he has moved frequently across the country. Additionally, he has no evidence of formal medical training or a medical practice.
Fleming suggested that Gordon's issue is alignment due to overcompensating from an injury and that he focuses on myofascia, which he claims can improve the body's range of motion. He also stated that he works with a chiropractor, though Bernstein is uncertain if the Bears are aware of Fleming's background or have vetted him.
