The Vikings will be down a starting cornerback for the second straight game.
Vikings cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, is officially out for tonight's game against the Bears. Chicago running back D'Andre Swift is active after being questionable with a groin issue.
It's the second consecutive absence for Gilmore, who got hurt two weeks ago against the Cardinals. The 34-year-old will look to step back into the starting lineup this Sunday against the Seahawks. In the meantime, Fabian Moreau will retain his role as the Vikings' No. 3 corner behind Byron Murphy Jr. and Shaq Griffin. Rookie Dwight McGlothern is next in line for playing time.* DT Levi Drake Rodriguez With Smith playing, the Bears will have almost their full complement of weapons available. They will be without No. 2 RB Roschon Johnson, which means Travis Homer or Darrynton Evans could be in line for snaps. Notably, they won't have starting left tackle Braxton Jones, who was ruled out with a concussion. It'll be third-round rookie Kiran Amegadjie making his first career start at LT, which is a storyline to watch when the Bears have the ball.
