Wade questionable

Wide receiver Bobby Wade was held out of today's practice because of swelling in his knee, but he said it won't keep him from starting Monday night's game against Chicago.

"It's kind of been sore," Wade said. "It's kind of been something I've been working with, but it's nothing that's going to stop me from playing."

Wade, who is listed as questionable, said the knee has been bothering him since he suffered a deep bone bruise in an Oct. 28 game against Philadelphia but that he expects to practice Saturday.

In addition to Wade, the Vikings listed three other players as questionable: guard Artis Hicks (back), safety Mike Doss (hamstring) and cornerback Charles Gordon (quad).

Safety Tank Williams (knee) is doubtful and expected to miss his third straight game.

For the Bears, quarterback Rex Grossman (knee) is doubtful and defensive tackle Tommie Harris (knee), defensive tackle Darwin Walker (elbow) and cornerback Nathan Vasher (groin) are questionable.

Kyle Orton will start in place of Grossman.
