In this story:


Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds seems ready to play this week after getting through the loss to Detroit with limits on his snap count.

Edmunds was not on the injury report put out by the Bears for Thanksgiving. Edmunds missed two games with a knee injury but played against Detroit with a limit on his snaps.

Although they did not practice, they were required to put out an injury report Thursday based on availability if one had been held.

The only linebacker on the injury report was Noah Sewell, who missed the last game because of a knee injury. He would not have practiced.

Running back D'Onta Foreman would not have practiced, either, following an ankle-shin injury he had going into last week's game, one that worsened as the game went along.

The other players who wouldn't have practiced were center Lucas Patrick (back) and tackle Larry Borom (illness).

Patrick suffered the back injury on a blind-side block that wasn't penalized in Sunday's loss, one that the Bears have submitted to the league for examination.

Fullback Khari Blasingame would have gone through a full practice despite a shoulder injury.

For the Vikings, wide receiver Justin Jefferson would have practiced on a limited basis during a 21-day window for possible return from injured reserve.

Tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) and cornerback Akayleb Evans (calf) would have been limited. Linebacker Brian Asamoah II (ankle), quarterback Jaren Hall (concussion) and quarterback Nick Mullens (back) would have gone through full practices.

Hall was the quarterback before they went to Josh Dobbs, so if he's healthy the Vikings could have a decision to make.
