Pettis has 17 catches for 226 yards and three touchdowns.

Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis was released from the hospital Sunday after a head injury in the Lions game left him with blurred vision. He flew home separately from the team and was still being evaluated by doctors Monday, coach Matt Eberflus said.

Eberflus said Sunday that Pettis cleared the concussion protocol, but was hospitalized as a precaution.

Pettis is fifth on the team with 17 catches for 226 yards and three touchdowns.

Cousins, Jefferson to play

While the Bears weigh whether to preserve quarterback Justin Fields by sitting him Sunday, Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell indicated quarterback Kirk Cousins and star wide receiver Justin Jefferson will play.
