Probably wont hear much until mandatory releases from the team. 

I am not expecting AT back for MNF....Have no idea about Darrisaw. I think I hear ISM is out on Covid protocol now and so we're going to be VERY THIN @ WR if thats the case. 

wow. i saw Zim's presser yesterday where he said ISM has been doing good  things in practice snd he may get a chance to show that against the Bears. now ISM is out too? you're right--very thin indeed.

Probably know more at the end of the day. I suspect Cook is fine and just resting. Everson is eligible to return this week. No idea why he wouldn't, but there's a lot of stuff to untangle there. Darrisaw didn't practice on Wednesday so that's a bad sign. If he doesn't practice again today, he's probably out again.

Bears’ veteran LT Jason Peters suffered a high-ankle sprain during last Sunday’s game vs. Packers and is out indefinitely, per HC Matt Nagy.

Peters, 39, will not be placed on injured reserve at this time, per Nagy.

Their ol has been putrid. This won't help.

Line has moved from -3.5 to -5.5

Still wouldn't touch it.

With the third string RT out there, like to see if Willekes can bust out something other than a bull rush. 

I know this will melt some peoples brains,  but looking at the draft order,  right now we sit at 12,  a win would potentially drop us to about 18,  now I know we all talk about draft position doesnt mean anything,  which we all know is BS otherwise teams wouldn't be willing to give up so much to move up,  but as it sits,  right now a win would drop us the equivalent of a 3rd round pick if we were wanting to move back up to that 12th spot.

I am not saying I will be cheering for the bears or hoping the Vikings lose for draft position,  but if they do lose,  I will not be nearly as bothered by it since this teams fate is IMO inevitable,  and a win only lessens the opportunities of building a better roster for future teams.

No cheering needed.  Cousins is blinded by the lights of Monday night.  We'll be a-o-kay if you're only looking at draft order

Obviously picking 12th improves your chance of hitting, but not nearly as much as people (and NFL teams) think. There was a study couple years ago about teams who moved up in the 1st round vs. teams who moved back. The ROI for moving up just isn't there. 

See much of a difference?

As it stands now, Vikings should win this one easily (he says, knowing there have been plenty of similar games against Chicago we should've won easily). Until we're officially out, I'm hoping for playoffs. If the Vikings get hot anything can happen. Especially in a Covid world.
