The Minnesota Vikings have promoted outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy and wide receiver Dillon Bell from their practice squad ahead of their game against the Chicago Bears on September 20, 2026. Van Noy is expected to contribute defensively after playing 25 snaps last week. Bell's addition comes as the team deals with the absence of Jauan Jennings, who is not traveling due to a family issue. Both players will provide depth as the Vikings prepare for the NFC North clash at Soldier Field.
