THE Chicago Bear (4-6) released its final injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 12 game against the Minnesota Vikings (8-2) and there have been some notable updates.
The Bears ruled out safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) and guard Ryan Bates (concussion) for Sunday’s game because both did not practice all week. But there is some encouraging news for running back D’Andre Swift, who is on the injury report with a groin injury. He was a full participant Friday and is officially questionable, but it appears he’s on track to play.
Elsewhere, wide receiver Keenan Allen appeared on the injury report Friday as he was limited by an ankle injury, and is questionable. Rookie offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie practiced for the first time in a few weeks, and he’s questionable against Minnesota.
