Stephon Gilmore Inactive for Bears Game

Vikings cornerback Stephon Gilmore will miss his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, having only participated in limited practice before the matchup against the Bears. His absence places additional pressure on cornerbacks Fabian Moreau and Shaq Griffin, with rookie Dwight McGlothern also in line for playing time. Meanwhile, Bears running back D'Andre Swift, listed as questionable with a groin issue, will play, though the team will miss several key contributors, including left tackle Braxton Jones and running back Roschon Johnson. The Vikings, who secured a playoff spot recently, will aim to extend their recent dominance over the Bears, having won six of the last seven matchups. The game is set to kick off at 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN. Both teams are looking to improve their standings, with the Vikings eyeing the NFC North title and the Bears attempting to break a seven-game losing streak.
