The Chicago Bears (4-6) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings (8-2), featuring notable additions. Running back D’Andre Swift missed last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a groin injury. However, head coach Matt Eberflus is optimistic about Swift’s chances and is holding him back further for precautionary reasons. Left tackle Kiran Amegazie (calf), guard Ryan Bates (concussion) and safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) were also all out.
Additionally, guard Teven Jenkins returned to practice on a limited basis as he works his way back from an ankle injury sustained in Week 10. Jenkins missed last week’s game due to injury.
