Bears receiver Taylor Gabriel is out for the Vikings game; Akiem Hicks and Kyle Long are questionable

CHICAGO _ The Bears ruled wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and defensive lineman Bilal Nichols out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Gabriel had three touchdown catches in Monday's win over the Redskins, but he left in the third quarter with a concussion after he was hit by a pair of defenders on a 7-yard carry. He didn't practice this week.

Bears coach Matt Nagy said second-year wide receiver Anthony Miller could be counted on to do more in Gabriel's absence.

Nichols has been out since the Week 2 victory over the Broncos with a broken right hand.

The Bears also listed defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (knee), right guard Kyle Long (hip), kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) and tight end Trey Burton (groin) as questionable for the game.

Hicks didn't practice this week as he deals with a right knee injury Nagy originally said was just "wear and tear." Long didn't practice Thursday or Friday after what Nagy said could be called a small setback with his hip.

Pineiro was upgraded to limited in Friday's practice, and Burton also was limited as the Bears practiced on turf. Nagy expects Burton to play.
