The Chicago Bears returned to practice as they prepare for the Week 11 NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, where the latest injury report was released, and it looked significantly better than the first one. There are still some injury concerns, though.
Four players did not practice for the Bears, including starting defensive players Jaquan Brisker (back) and T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring). Surprisingly, starting left guard Joe Thuney got a second straight day off for more rest. Wide receiver Jahdae Walker also did not practice as he is still in concussion protocol.

Better injury report for the Bears, but the defense might be even more banged-up
Brisker would be a massive loss in the secondary that can't afford any more injuries. Three cornerbacks are on IR, and they have Stevenson, who is not 100% after missing Wednesday's practice with the shoulder injury.
Edwards isn't looking great to play after getting surgery on his hand last week. It isn't known when he will return, but he could play with a brace whenever he is back on the field. Noah Sewell would be his replacement, as he was at the beginning of the season.
As for the offense, they are in much better shape with Moore, Odunze, and Swift all back on the field for the Bears. Thuney will be interesting to monitor as he doesn't appear to be hurt, but is getting an extra day of rest.

The defense will be a question mark with all the injuries, but the offense should be in good shape for the Vikings showdown.
