The Chicago Bears will be without three key players when they take on the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. Starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, running back D'Onta Foreman, and swing tackle Larry Borom have all been ruled out for the game. Stevenson suffered an ankle injury that limited his practice participation, while Foreman has been dealing with an ankle issue for several weeks. Borom was not expected to play due to illness.

The absence of Stevenson means rookie Terell Smith will likely start opposite Jaylon Johnson. There may also be a rotation involving Jaylon Jones at outside corner. In Foreman's absence, Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson will be responsible for the running back duties. Borom's absence may prompt the Bears to elevate Aviante Collins from the practice squad to serve as a backup tackle.

The Vikings, meanwhile, have listed defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga, corner Akayleb Evans, and wide receiver Justin Jefferson as questionable for the game. Jefferson, in particular, is a crucial player for the Vikings, and his presence could greatly impact the outcome.
