Chicago Bears wide receiver/kick returner Devin Hester left Sunday's 28-10 win against the Minnesota Vikings with a concussion.

The injury occurred early in the contest and the team announced before halftime that Hester had sustained a concussion and would not return to the game.

Eric Weems took over wide receiver and return duties in Hester's absence.

Chicago also lost running back Matt Forte and guard Lance Louis to knee injuries in the third quarter.
