Gilmore was hurt on Dec. 1. He was listed as questionable to face the Bears, but he only returned to practice on Friday on a limited basis. The five-time Pro Bowl pick's spot will largely be filled by Shaquill Griffin, with Fabian Moreau also having his role elevated.
The Bears cleared running back D'Andre Swift to play after listing him as questionable with a groin injury. His backup, Roschon Johnson, was ruled out along with starting left tackle Braxton Jones and backup guard Ryan Bates. All three players have concussions. Jones was just added to the injury report on Sunday. Starting defensive lineman Gervon Dexter was out with a knee injury.
