Bears vs. Vikings injury report: Latest updates, news for Saturday

The Chicago Bears (4-9) released their final injury report ahead of Monday night’s Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings (11-2), which featured some notable updates.

The Bears have ruled out three players for Monday’s game against the Vikings, including defensive tackle Gervon Dexter (knee), running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) and offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion). Running back D’Andre Swift, who didn’t practice Thursday and Friday, was limited on Saturday and is officially questionable.

The good news is safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) is set to make his return and running back Travis Homer will serve as needed back up for Swift, assuming he plays.

Here’s a look at the injury report for the Bears and Vikings after Saturday’s practice:
