(670 The Score) Bears receiver Taylor Gabriel has been ruled out against the Vikings at Soldier Field on Sunday as he deals with a concussion. Defensive lineman Akiem Hicks has been listed as questionable with a knee injury.

Gabriel hauled in the Bears' three offensive touchdowns in a win against the Redskins on Monday night before leaving with a concussion. He remains in the concussion protocol and hasn't practiced since. Hicks exited with his knee injury in the fourth quarter Monday and didn't return. He hasn't practiced this week. Hicks will likely be a game-time decision, coach Matt Nagy told reporters Friday.

The Bears have also listed guard Kyle Long (hip), tight end Trey Burton (groin) and kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) as questionable. After practicing in full Wednesday, Long hasn't practiced the last two days. Bears defensive lineman Bilal Nichols (hand) will miss his second straight game.

The Vikings ruled out starting guard Josh Kline and linebacker Kentrell Brothers for Sunday. Cornerback Mackenzie Alexander is listed as questionable. Linebacker Anthony Barr was removed from the injury report and will play.

Kickoff between the Bears (2-1) and Vikings (2-1) comes at 3:25 p.m. CT Sunday from Soldier Field.
