The Bear’s Den: Health concerns for Bears, Minnesota Vikings remain

Ahead of their Week 2 clash with the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings are navigating significant offensive roster setbacks following an opening victory against the Green Bay Packers. Starting quarterback Kyler Murray is working through concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury, limiting his practice participation while keeping open the possibility of playing on September 20.

If Murray is unable to suit up, Carson Wentz is in line to take over starting duties under center.

Minnesota's backfield also sustained a blow, as running back Jordan Mason landed on injured reserve due to a broken thumb that will sideline him for a minimum of four contests. To shore up depth, the franchise promoted DeeJay Dallas to the primary roster from the practice unit while simultaneously adding fellow running back Jerome Ford to their practice squad.
