The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears have issued the second of three injury reports in advance of their Monday Night matchup. Here they are:
Good news on the injury front for Christian Darrisaw, who was a full participant in practice today after not practicing yesterday. I continue to think he’ll play on Monday night but Saturday’s injury report will be the last data point.
Harrison Smith was also limited, which is encouraging, especially if he is full-go tomorrow. We’ll see.
It looks increasingly like Elijah Williams and Zavier Scott will not play on Monday night, assuming they would be active.
Today’s injury report is not so encouraging for the Bears’ T.J. Edwards, who did not practice for a second day. It seems unlikely at this point he’ll play on Monday night, which would be a significant loss for the Bears’ defense.
The other Bears’ starter on the injury list, Jaylon Johnson, is once again limited. He missed all of training camp with a groin injury and this week has been limited. Seems more like they’re ramping him up for a week two start rather than Monday night, but we’ll see what news tomorrow’s injury report brings.
Roschon Johnson also looks increasingly like he’ll not play on Monday night, which if Kyle Monangai isn’t able to go either, really depletes the Bears’ running back room behind D’Andre Swift.
At this point it looks like may be the only starter the Vikings could be without on Monday night, while the Bears look to be without T.J. Edwards and potentially Jaylon Johnson as well.
