Chicago Bears offensive line might catch break against Vikings

The Chicago Bears will look to get improve to 7-3 and get their first divisional win on the season this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. This is a major game for the Bears regarding their chase for the playoffs. A win could potentially put them in sole possession of first place in the NFC North and could lower the Vikings’ chances of making the playoffs significantly.

The team will be looking to avenge their week one loss to Minnesota. In order to take care of the Vikings on Sunday, the Bears must take care of a tough Vikings defense led by defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

It now looks like that there is a chance the Vikings could be without one of their top pass rushers for Week 11.

According to Alec Lewis of the Athletic, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told the media that the edge rusher will not practice Wednesday. Greenard is now listed as questionable for Sunday’s crucial NFC North matchup.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell also said edge rusher Jonathan Greenard won't participate today in practice.

"I'd put him in that questionable category."

Said he still thinks Greenard will have a chance for Sunday vs. Bears, but deferring to medical.

Greenard currently has 36 pressures on the season. That’s the 15th best among all edge rushers according to Pro Football Focus. He also has two sacks and a forced fumble as well.

This could be a nice break for the Bears’ offensive line, in particular Darnell Wright. The Bears’ right tackle is in the midst of his best season yet and has the potential to make his first Pro Bowl with how well he’s been playing.

Minnesota has a very tough blitz heavy defense. Caleb Williams and the offense must prepare for the pressure the Vikings will try to give them.
