Bears' D'Andre Swift, Keenan Allen to play vs. Vikings
As they said they would, both running back D’Andre Swift and receiver Keenan Allen will play for the Bears on Sunday against the Vikings at Soldier Field.
Swift ramped up his activity all week after hurting his groin against the Packers, a game in which he ran 14 times for 71 yards and a 39-yard touchdown. He practiced in full Friday, the same day that Allen rolled his ankle and did not finish his workout. Allen said after the game his ankle was merely stiff and that he planned to play.
Nonetheless, the Bears considered both of them questionable to play Sunday.
The Bears had already ruled out guard Ryan Bates (concussion) and safety Elijah Hicks (ankle) on Friday.
Swing tackle Kiran Amegadjie, who was questionable with a calf injury, was made inactive Sunday. Other Bears players ruled inactive were receiver Tyler Scott, defensive end Dominique Robinson and cornerback Ameer Speed.
