Works out with Minnesota
The Vikings hosted Wheeler (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact
Wheeler appears to have fully recovered from an undisclosed injury that led to an injury settlement with the Bears in early September. Now that he's healthy, the 25-year-old running back out of Howard is looking to catch on with a team in need of depth out of the backfield.

Receives injury settlement
The Bears waived Wheeler (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact
Wheeler's injury settlement will make him eligible to sign with a club, whether in Chicago or elsewhere, once healthy this season, rather than spend the entire year on IR. Across his two preseason appearances, Wheeler impressed with 26 carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns. He also turned his only target into a 14-yard catch.

Heads to IR
Wheeler (undisclosed) cleared waivers Wednesday and reverted to the Bears' injured reserve, per the NFL's official media site.
Impact
Wheeler got a good look in preseason with 26 carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns in addition to a 14-yard catch on his lone target through two games. The second-year running back out of Howard spent the 2024 season on injured reserve with a knee injury, and he'll face a same situation this year unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Placed on active/NFI list
Wheeler (undisclosed) was moved to the active/non-football injury list by the Bears on Saturday.
Impact
Once Wheeler is ready to return to practice, he can come off the active/NFI list at any time throughout training camp and the preseason. The running back missed his rookie season last year with a knee injury but returned in time for June OTAs. If he can come back for training camp, he should have a chance to compete for a depth role in a backfield led by D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson.
