Bears prepare for potential matchup against Vikings' uncertain quarterback situation
Summary

The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 amidst uncertainty over the Vikings' starting quarterback. Kyler Murray exited the previous game with a concussion but showed encouraging signs, attending meetings and feeling 'pretty good,' as reported by coach Kevin O’Connell. While he must clear the concussion protocol, there remains a chance he could play. In the meantime, Carson Wentz led a strong performance in Murray's absence during the Vikings' recent victory over the Packers. The Bears’ defense, however, will need to improve after a lackluster showing against the Panthers, where they struggled to contain quarterback Bryce Young.
