The Chicago Bears are expected to be at full strength on offense in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Both D’Andre Swift and Keenan Allen will play.

The #Bears are confident that both RB D’Andre Swift (groin) and WR Keenan Allen (ankle) will play today. Both are listed as questionable.

Swift has been dealing with a groin injury since Week 11’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, but he managed to log a full practice on Friday. Despite his questionable tag, he’s in line to play.

Allen, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury in practice, but it won’t keep him out of this week’s NFC North showdown.

Both Swift and Allen will be critical to a potential Bears win. The Vikings play an aggressive blitzing style of defense, which usually requires a competent screen and quick-hitting passing game to combat.

The Bears-Vikings game will kick off at 1 p.m. EST at Soldier Field.
