The Minnesota Vikings will be without cornerback Stephon Gilmore for their matchup against the Chicago Bears, marking his second consecutive game missed due to a hamstring strain. Gilmore's absence forces the team to rely on cornerbacks Shaq Griffin and Fabian Moreau to step up defensively.

As the Vikings prepare to face rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who previously posed challenges in their last encounter, they aim to contain his mobility. Meanwhile, the Bears are dealing with multiple injuries, including key players like Braxton Jones and Gervon Dexter Sr.
