MINNEAPOLIS — The Chicago Bears (4-9) will play the Minnesota Vikings (11-2) at U.S. Bank Stadium in a Week 15 matchup. Here’s what you need to know before Monday’s kickoff (7 p.m., ABC-7 and ESPN). Inactives: D’Andre Swift active, Kiran Amegadjie to start Bears running back D’Andre Swift will play Monday night against the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Swift dealt with a groin injury all week and was listed as questionable. But he will play despite an injury issue for the third time in four weeks. On Saturday, the Bears declared out left tackle Braxton Jones after he self-reported concussion symptoms. They plan to give rookie offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie his first career start in place of Jones, general manager Ryan Poles said on the team’s pregame show on WMVP-AM 1000. Veterans Larry Borom and Jake Curhan were other options to replace Jones. The Bears also previously declared out defensive tackle Gervon Dexter (knee), running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) and offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion). Linebacker Noah Sewell and defensive back Ameer Speed are also inactive. Safety Elijah Hicks is active after dealing with an ankle injury that caused him to miss three games. Safety Jonathan Owens has been starting in his place. For the Vikings, cornerback Stephon Gilmore, quarterback Brett Rypien, defensive lineman Levi Drake Rodriguez, center Dan Feeney and offensive tackle Walter Rouse are inactive. 5 things to watch — plus our Week 15 predictions Bears tight end Cole Kmet and running back D’Andre Swift block Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard to give quarterback Caleb Williams more time. (Eileen T. Meslar/Chicago Tribune) Can Caleb Williams build on his last performance against the Vikings? Though they ultimately didn’t get it done in overtime in the last meeting, Williams and the Bears did a good job handling the Vikings defense under coordinator Brian Flores. Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns and helped the Bears score 17 points in the fourth quarter. Now he will have the chance to face a division rival for a second time with a blueprint for what worked. The Vikings sacked Williams three times and had four quarterback hits in the game, with one of the sacks in overtime to set back the Bears’ opening drive. Williams, who took 12 of his 56 sacks in the last two games since the Vikings outing, called the overtime sack “stupid.” While acknowledging many different factors have played into the sacks total, he said he is still learning and developing the “quick switch” he needs to make the correct decision in the moment.

(Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune) The Arlington Heights Village Board signed off last week on an agreement that establishes what the Bears would pay in property taxes, a significant step that clears the way for a potential new stadium in the northwest suburb, even though team officials say they remain focused on seeking a new arena in Chicago. The board voted 8-0 to seal a deal to set the Bears’ taxes at $3.6 million per year for the former Arlington International Racecourse. The memorandum of understanding is also due to be considered later this week by the three local school districts that helped negotiate the deal with the village. The agreement doesn’t necessarily mean the team will build a new stadium on the site, as it once proposed, but it gives the Bears what officials said they always wanted, and haven’t gotten from Chicago: tax certainty.
