Bears’ Marquess Wilson to play vs. Vikings, Jordan Mills to sit out

SHARE Bears’ Marquess Wilson to play vs. Vikings, Jordan Mills to sit out

Wide receiver Marquess Wilson will make his season debut Sunday against the Vikings — as the Bears’ No. 3 option.

The second-year player, who has been out since training camp with a broken right clavicle, has been declared active. With wide receiver Josh Morgan (shoulder) declared out and Santonio Holmes having been cut earlier this week, Wilson will be the Bears’ third receiver.

Right tackle Jordan Mills, who has a muscular ribs injury, will not play Sunday. Michael Ola will stay at tackle, while Brian de la Puente will play left guard, the way he did when Mills was hurt Sunday.

The Bears declared five other players inactive: cornerback Terrance Mitchell, linebacker Darryl Sharpton, offensive tackle Eben Britton, defensive end Trevor Scott and tight end Blake Annen.
