Overview
- The Bears posted a clean injury report for Week 2, meaning no players were listed as out, doubtful, or questionable and coaches can use their preferred starters and rotations.
- Right tackle Darnell Wright recovered from a midweek knee issue, returned to full practice, and is cleared to play on Sunday, keeping Chicago’s offensive line intact.
- Minnesota elevated veteran edge Kyle Van Noy and rookie wideout Dillon Bell from the practice squad to provide immediate depth with Jauan Jennings unavailable.
- Kyler Murray did not clear concussion protocol and was ruled out, so Carson Wentz will start with J.J. McCarthy as the backup for the Vikings on Sunday.
- Weather at Soldier Field — forecast rain and gusts up to about 30 mph — and Chicago’s unexpected gameday inactive of Ozzy Trapilo are the remaining variables that could shape both teams’ game plans.
