Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: Inactive Lists For Both Teams

We're just ninety minutes away from game time at TCF Bank Stadium, and we've gotten the inactive lists for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears leading up to today's contest. Let's have a look at who will be sitting this one out for both teams, starting with the visitors.

Chicago Bears

QB Jimmy Clausen
S Chris Conte
DT Brandon Dunn
K Robbie Gould
DE Austen Lane
OT Charles Leno
CB Al Louis-Jean

No huge surprises on the inactive list for the Bears that I can see. Wide receiver Marquess Wilson, who had been listed as questionable on the injury report, is active and will likely start.

And now, on to the home team.

Minnesota Vikings

OT Carter Bykowski
S Ahmad Dixon
LB Chad Greenway
RB Henry Josey
CB Shaun Prater
LB Brandon Watts
G David Yankey

The one mild surprise is Greenway, who is out for what might be his final game as a Viking. That means that the Vikings are going to be rolling with four linebackers today. . .Jasper Brinkley, Gerald Hodges, Audie Cole, and Josh Kaddu (fresh off the practice squad). Zach Line is active for the Vikings for the first time today as well.

The Open Thread for the first quarter of play will be up at the top of the 11 AM Central time hour, ladies and gentlemen. We hope to see plenty of you there!
