The Chicago Bears have released their inactives ahead of their Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings, where Chicago is looking to send out Matt Nagy with a win.
Rookie quarterback Justin Fields will miss his third straight game after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week. He dealt with an ankle injury that sidelined him for the previous two games. He’s officially inactive, which means it’ll be Andy Dalton getting the start with Nick Foles serving as the backup.
The good news is outside linebacker Robert Quinn is officially active for Sunday’s finale, where he has the chance to add to his 18 sacks on the season.
Unfortunately, defensive tackle Akiem Hicks is officially inactive for what is likely his final game with the Bears. Hicks popped up on the injury report this week with a nagging ankle injury, which sidelined him in practice all week.
Cornerback Duke Shelley is also inactive, as he’s been dealing with a heel injury over the last couple of weeks.
Here’s a look at those Bears inactive against the Vikings:
- DT Akiem Hicks
- RB Ryan Nall
- CB Duke Shelley
- OL Lachavious Simmons
- OL Elijah Wilkinson
The Bears and Vikings kick things off at Noon CT on FOX.
