Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: Inactive lists for both teams

We are ninety minutes from kickoff for the 2019 regular season finale between the Chicago Bears and your Minnesota Vikings from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Both teams have released their inactive lists for this one, so let’s see who’s being deactivated from each side.

As always, we start with the visiting team.

Chicago Bears

• G Rashaad Coward
• WR Taylor Gabriel
• DT Eddie Goldman
• DT Akiem Hicks
• CB Michael Joseph
• OT Bobby Massie
• TE Bradley Sowell

So, those are the Bears’ inactives. Yeah.

And now, on to the team that matters the most.

Minnesota Vikings

• LB Anthony Barr
• RB Dalvin Cook
• LB Eric Kendricks
• RB Alexander Mattison
• OT Brian O’Neill
• OT Riley Reiff
• DT Shamar Stephen

If you’re scoring at home, that’s six starters and the top backup running back deactivated for the Vikings this afternoon. We weren’t expecting Cook, Kendricks, or Mattison out there for this one, but the Vikings truly are resting their starters today.

Those are your inactive lists for this afternoon’s contest, folks. We’ll have the Open Thread for the first quarter of play ready, as usual, at around 11:00 AM Central time.
