McPhee (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, ESPN Chicago's Jeff Dickerson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Listed as questionable heading into the week after missing the Bears' previous game, McPhee was able to participate in a limited fashion in each of the team's three practices. That was enough for coach John Fox to sign off on the linebacker's return, but there remains a possibility that McPhee could see a lower-than-normal snap count if he's not yet 100 percent healthy. The Bears have received good production from Willie Young and Lamarr Houston in recent games, and both figure to remain prominent figures in the rotation at the position even with McPhee now available again.
