Still, if the Bears do need Wims in a week, he showed good timing and trust with Trubisky, which could wind up paying off. But he took advantage of an opportunity against the Vikings - one that won't necessarily be there in a week, with Robinson and Gabriel seeming likely to play against the Eagles, though Miller's status may be up in the air.

While White only had one catch, it was an impressive 22-yard snag on third down. With Allen Robinson inactive due to a ribs injury, and Anthony Miller (shoulder) and Taylor Gabriel (ribs) both exiting the game, Javon Wims and Kevin White saw significant action on Sunday.
