Vikings Hold Practice Amid Injury Concerns

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for a crucial NFC North matchup against the Chicago Bears with several injury concerns. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who missed the previous game due to a hamstring injury, remains highly questionable and has not practiced since the team's win over the Cardinals. Edge rusher Pat Jones II is also dealing with a knee injury and was absent from practice, while Andrew Van Ginkel (hip) and Aaron Jones (back) were limited participants. The team is hopeful for Van Ginkel's and Jones' return, as they had limited practice reps before playing full games previously. The Atlanta Falcons, meanwhile, are dealing with their own injuries ahead of their game against the Raiders, with linebacker Troy Andersen and receiver Casey Washington not practicing. The Falcons listed four other players as limited, including Darnell Mooney and rookie Ruke Orhorhoro, who remains on injured reserve.
