Stephon Gilmore of the Minnesota Vikings missed his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, which he sustained earlier this month. Although he was questionable for the matchup against the Chicago Bears, he only returned to limited practice on Friday. In his absence, Shaquill Griffin will take on a larger role.

Meanwhile, the Bears activated running back D’Andre Swift despite his recent groin issue, while several key players, including Roschon Johnson, Braxton Jones, and Ryan Bates, were sidelined due to concussions.
