One last game this season to cheer for the Monsters of the Midway.

The Chicago Bears announced their inactive list ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Quarterback Justin Fields (hip), running back Darrynton Evans, linebacker Sterling Weatherford, defensive lineman Angelo Blackson, cornerback Kyler Gordon (groin/illness), defensive back Jaylon Jones (concussion) and linebacker Terrell Lewis were included on the injury list.

Gordon is a tough loss as he has started 14 games this season, registering three interceptions, two tackles-for-loss, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.

With the loss of Gordon and Jones, the Bears cornerbacks will be tested today with only Harrison Hand, Breon Borders, Michael Ojemudia, and Greg Stroman available.

Only Hand has any snaps this season on defense, with only 41.

The Bears (3-13) will face off against the Vikings (12-4) at noon CT Sunday from Soldier Field.
