We are just about ninety minutes from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings have both released their inactive lists for this contest. Let’s take a look at who will be watching this one from the sidelines, starting with the visiting team.
Chicago Bears
- S Deon Bush
- CB Jaylon Johnson
- RB Artavis Pierce
- OL Lachavious Simmons
- CB Buster Skrine
No real surprises on the injury report for Chicago. Khalil Mack, who had been listed as questionable, is active, which should hardly come as a surprise.
And now, on to the home team.
Minnesota Vikings
- TE Hale Hentges
- LB Eric Kendricks
- CB Dylan Mabin
- WR K.J. Osborn
- TE Kyle Rudolph
- OL Olisaemeka Udoh
Running back Alexander Mattison will make his return today following a two-game absence after an appendectomy. With Osborn inactive, it appears that Chad Beebe and Ameer Abdullah will be handling return duties for punts and kickoffs, respectively.
That’s a look at the inactive lists going into this one, folks. We’ll have the first discussion thread of the afternoon dropping at 11:00 AM Central time, so keep your eyes open for that.
