LAKE FOREST, Ill., — The Chicago Bears are heading to Minnesota for a Week 11 showdown with the Vikings, a rematch of a thrilling Week 1 game that unfortunately didn't go Chicago's way. Now, the Bears are hoping to return the favor and get their first NFC North win of the season.
On Friday, the Bears released their final injury report ahead of the game and have ruled out linebacker T.J. Edwards as well as wide receiver Jahdae Walker. This will be the second-straight game Edwards has missed after breaking his hand in the win over Cincinnati and having surgery on it. He's also dealing with a hamstring injury. Edwards has played in just five total games this season, missing weeks 1, 3, and 4 as well.
Walker suffered a concussion in last Friday's practice and also missed the win over the New York Giants.
There's some good news for the Bears, however.
After being limited on Thursday, both Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore will play on Sunday. Safety Jaquan Brisker is listed as questionable after being limited on Thursday with a back injury but he told the media he's expecting to play.
"I feel good. I feel good. Be ready to go on Sunday," Brisker said. "Well, yeah. I mean I should be."
Brisker suffered a back injury in the win over the Giants and did return to the game. But he missed Wednesday and Thursday out at practice. Defensive back Jaylon Johnson saw his 21-day window to return be activated on Friday and he's listed as questionable although he's not expected to play.
Below is the full injury report for the Bears going into Week 11:
OUT
- LB TJ Edwards
- WR Jahdae Walker
QUESTIONABLE
- S Jaquan Brisker
- DB Jaylon Johnson
