Bears Week 18 inactives: Kyler Gordon OUT vs. Vikings

The Chicago Bears (3-13) have released their inactives ahead of their 2022 season finale against the Minnesota Vikings (12-4), where Chicago is looking to close out the year on a high note.

The Bears previously ruled out quarterback Justin Fields, who is battling a hip strain. That means it’ll be Nathan Peterman getting the start against Minnesota with Tim Boyle backing him up.
