(670 The Score) The Bears will be without two starters in the secondary after ruling out nickel cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion) and rookie cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) against the Vikings on Sunday.
Neither Skrine nor Johnson practiced during the week. The Bears will likely start Duke Shelley in place of Skrine and rookie Kindle Vildor for Johnson.
Bears star pass rusher Khalil Mack (shoulder) is active, as expected. Mack has been dealing with a shoulder injury, his fourth ailment of the season, but he hasn't missed a game.
The Bears' other inactives are safety Deon Bush (foot), running back Artavis Pierce and offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons.
Kickoff between the Bears (6-7) and Vikings (6-7) comes Sunday at noon from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
