As the Chicago Bears gear up for their Week 12 encounter under the bright lights of Monday Night Football against the Vikings, fans can breathe a sigh of relief with the latest announcement from Halas Hall. The latest injury report has brought some positive news for the Bears' lineup, adding a dash of confidence before they face their division rivals.
Lucas Patrick, a staple in the Bears’ offensive line, and fullback Khari Blasingame were once again full participants in Saturday's practice. Patrick, who was a full participant in Friday's practice is now set to return to game action after leaving Week 11's game against the Detroit Lions early due to the injury. Their returns are a notable boost to the Bears' offense, given their clear bill of health and the absence of injury designations for the upcoming game.
However, concerns hover over cornerback Tyrique Stevenson after an ankle injury cropped up during Saturday's workout. His impact as a rookie has been significant, contributing 61 tackles and a crucial interception this season.
Stevenson's availability is left in question, a storyline that will be closely monitored amid preparations for Minnesota. He is officially listed as "Questionable".
The Bears' backfield is also facing uncertainty as D'Onta Foreman grapples with ankle and shin injuries that have him listed as "Doubtful" ahead of Monday's contest. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Larry Borom's persistent illness throughout the week casts serious doubt over his Monday night appearance. He has also been given the "Doubtful" designation.
Rookie linebacker Noah Sewell will miss his second game, and has been listed as "Out".
