Bears Prepare for Minnesota With Vikings QB and RB Uncertainty

Bears Prepare for Minnesota With Vikings QB and RB Uncertainty

Chicago hosts Minnesota on September 20 at 1 p.m. ET on FOX, with both teams entering 1-0. Kyler Murray remains in concussion protocol, Carson Wentz could start, and Jordan Mason is on injured reserve with a thumb fracture. Darnell Wright’s move from a DNP to limited practice is encouraging, while Rome Odunze has cleared the injury report; Justin Jefferson, Minnesota’s rushing attack, Dallas Turner, Brian Flores’ pressure schemes and Chicago’s protection remain the central matchup issues.
