In six career games against the Bears, Jefferson has 41 catches for 585 yards and two touchdowns.

MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, one of the best in the NFL at his position, will not play against the Bears on Monday. The team had until 3 p.m. Monday to activate him from injured reserve and decided against it.

Jefferson has been out with a hamstring injury since Week 5, right before the Vikings visited the Bears. That was the first game he missed, though the Vikings managed a 19-13 win without him.
