Next man up mentality.

The Chicago Bears announced on Saturday that three players will be sidelined for Monday Night's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Jr., who leads the team with five sacks and 16 quarterback hits, is out due to a knee injury.

Running back Roschon Johnson and offensive lineman Ryan Bates remain in concussion protocol and will not play in the game.

Meanwhile, starting running back D’Andre Swift is listed as questionable, leaving the backfield depth uncertain heading into the primetime clash.

Travis Homer, Darrynton Evans, and Royce Freeman could be the trio to see action instead of Swift.

The Bears (4-9) and Vikings (11-2) kick off at 7 p.m. CT Monday night at U.S. Bank Stadium.
