Ahead of Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings elevated inside linebacker Anthony Barr to the active roster. He played in 12 snaps against the Denver Broncos and made a couple of tackles as well.
The one thing the Vikings didn’t do was activate wide receiver Justin Jefferson. He was downgraded to out.
This was reported multiple times over the last few days, including on Thanksgiving Day by The Athletic’s Diana Russini. With the Vikings on a bye next week, it makes sense to proceed with caution.
The Vikings and Bears kick off on Monday night at 7:15 CST.
