Won't play Sunday Vildor (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Impact Vildor did not practice at all this week after he was forced out with a right ankle injury this past Sunday against Miami. The 24-year-old recorded 29 tackles, four passes defended and an interception while lining up on 411 of Chicago's defensive snaps over the first nine games of the season. His next opportunity to play will come against Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 20. With starting cornerback Jaylon Johnson (oblique) also questionable to play, it's likely that Jaylon Jones will play a much bigger role against Detroit.

Best game of season Vildor picked off a pass and tallied six tackles in the Bears' 29-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Not only did Vildor post his first interception of the year, but he also produced his highest tackle total of the season. On the year, he has at least four tackles in all but one game, and he's been a fairly consistent IDP option.

Seeing snaps at outside corner Vildor plays on the outside when rookie Kyler Gordon moves into the slot during practices, Jeff Berckes of Windycitygridiron.com reports.

Impact Although Vildor played 781 snaps last year while averaging just less than three tackles per game, his role is expected to change this year. After the Bears selected Kyler Gordon in this year's draft, the rookie is expected to start along with Jaylon Johnson. However, Gordon has been used in the slot when Chicago uses three cornerbacks on the field, which has provided Vildor with a role on the outside. Although Vildor could continue in his training-camp role when the season starts, expect a reduction in his 2021 snaps, which would lower his IDP value.

Quiet in season finale Vildor tallied a tackle in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 45 tackles, four passes defensed and a sack.

Impact Vildor was playing in a full-time role through Week 11 before seeing his snaps drastically lowered the rest of the way. He's signed through the 2023 season, but unless he can earn back the regular playing time he was seeing early in the year he'll be a risky player to draft in IDP leagues.

Impact In addition to collecting his first sack of the year, Vildor also recorded a season high with six tackles. On the year, he's averaging 3.5 tackles, making him a low-floor IDP option.
