Bears' Sterling Weatherford: Won't play versus Minnesota

Weatherford (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Weatherford failed to practice during Week 18 prep while dealing with an illness. With the Bears long eliminated from playoff contention, the 23-year-old linebacker will finish the 2022 campaign with four tackles while playing all but two of his 224 snaps on special teams across 14 contests.
