Greg Lewis left the practice field last week with a portion of his jersey pulled over his head and trying to catch his breath. Lewis was physically spent -- but he wasn't complaining.

With Sidney Rice sidelined since the opening of training camp because of a hip injury and Percy Harvin missing all of the week after the death of his grandmother, Lewis is among the wide receivers who have gotten ample opportunity to show the coaching staff what they can do.

The Vikings opened camp with Rice, Harvin and Bernard Berrian considered locks to make the 53-man roster at receiver. Lewis might have had the edge to stick as the fourth receiver, but the competition for the final three spots (if the Vikings keep six) was considered to be fairly wide open.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
