The lingering injuries that Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has been dealing with all season shouldn't scare fans away from knowing whether he will play or not.
Moore spent some time with the media after practice and was asked about his status for their upcoming Week 11 matchup against NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. Only one word was needed from Moore to answer that question.
"Duh."
Moore would go on to compare the Bears' offense to Jell-O, where they were initially struggling in training camp but are now in the "cooling" phase and improving. He sees great things coming from this offense.
"We all know where everybody going to be. We just in this together."

For the most part, it has been a relatively quiet year for Moore on offense with some up-and-down performances. Before his zero catch game against the New York Giants in Week 10, Moore had back-to-back games with season-highs of 73 and 72 yards receiving in a game.
In nine games this season, Moore has 30 receptions for 403 yards and one touchdown. He's added 54 rushing yards on 12 carries and another score.
This season has been more about Moore being a warrior and fighting through multiple injuries. From his scary injury against the Washington Commanders that got him sent to the hospital to his current shoulder injury, he is working through. He's been missing the first day of practice for the last few weeks.

It appears that Moore will be stepping on the field in a game that the Bears desperately need as they need to get a signature win on the season with a division victory. Minnesota is just as desperate, if not more desperate, than Chicago is, so the Bears will need Moore to make some plays in the game.
