Early Bears Pre-Game Thread

[ThePiper]

A little off-topic but are the Lions...kind of good? I honestly don't know. I think they might be though?

Yes, I am watching right now. They look really impressive. If it wasn't for that fumble on the goal line the game would be over I think.

Well, for once we have the advantage with injuries.

For the Bears, WR Taylor Gabriel is out. DT Bilal Nichols is out. Those are significant losses for the Bears.

Akiem Hicks is questionable with a knee. He hasn't practiced all week and will be a game-time decision. That's huge if he's out.

K Eddie Pineiro is questionable with a knee injury. He's been limited all week, and the Bears haven't brought in another kicker. Even if he plays, you have to wonder about his range and effectiveness.

Kyle Long, their starting guard, is questionable with a hip injury.

Meanwhile, the Vikings are only down Josh Kline (a pretty significant loss, but less so if Hicks is unable to go) and Kentrell Brothers. Mack Alexander has practiced all week, so he's looking good, even though he's listed as questionable.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this info.

You're welcome.

Wish it would have made a difference.
