79 Tom Compton G

Compton signed a contract with the Vikings on Thursday, Andrew Krammer of The Star Tribune reports.

Compton spent last season with the Bears, starting five games at both left and right guard. Before that he spent three seasons with the Redskins and will now be reunited with quarterback Kirk Cousins. Because of his versatility, Compton figures to compete for a starting role on the offensive line this season.

Compton (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Compton sustained a concussion in Week 15 against the Lions and wasn't available for last week's game against the Browns. However, his full participation in practice Wednesday puts him on track to make a return for Sunday's season finale against the Vikings.

Compton (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

The Bears will be without both of their starting guards Sunday, as Josh Sitton (ankle) is also inactive. The absences of Compton and Sitton should open up starts at guard for Bradley Sowell and Cody Whitehair.

Compton (concussion) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Compton entered the concussion protocol during the Bears' Week 15 loss to the Lions, and his status for Sunday remains up in the air after practicing in a limited capacity this week. Bradley Sowell figures to fill in at guard if Compton misses time.

Compton is in the concussion protocol and won't return to Saturday's game against the Lions, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.

Bradley Sowell has stepped in at guard in Compton's absence, but Hroniss Grasu could also see some snaps if the Bears opt to shuffle some pieces around.
