Chase Ford hasn’t had much to do this season besides stand on the sidelines watching, but that may all change this weekend.
Thursday Vikings TE Rhett Ellison was downgraded on the injury report to out (concussion) and if Ellison can’t go then Ford would most likely be activated for the first time this season against the Bears.
Given how much the Vikings use their tight ends, Ford would likely get in the game for at least a few snaps if he is active.
Ford of course doesn’t bring exactly the same skill set to the table as Rhett Ellison.
