Bears HC Ben Johnson said Monday that RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a soft-tissue injury. “We're taking it day-by-day,” Johnson added. “It should be on the shorter side.”

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play vs. the Packers tonight, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Swift is listed as questionable after being limited in the final two practices of the week. It adds some risk to his Week 16 profile, but we're ultimately expecting Swift to continue splitting backfield work with RB Kyle Monangai.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Packers. He was added to the injury report on Wednesday but was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday. We're expecting Swift to play but will look for further updates on his status and get Chicago's inactives a little before 7 pm ET on Saturday.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift was added to the injury report with a groin and limited in practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other info on his status right now. We'll see if Swift practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Saturday's game vs. the Packers. His absence would turn RB Kyle Monangai into a workhorse -- and a must-start in fantasy lineups.

After being out-carried by Kyle Monangai in Chicago's last three games, D'Andre Swift reclaimed his No. 1 RB status in Week 15. Swift rushed 18 times for 98 yards and 2 TDs to help lead the Bears to a dominant 31-3 win over the Browns. Swift's 22.6 PPR points in this game were his second-highest total of the season.

The Bears ran enough to support big fantasy days for both their RBs in Friday's win at Philadelphia. Kyle Monangai rushed 22 times for 130 yards and a TD. D'Andre Swift added 125 yards and a TD on 18 attempts.

The forecast for today's Bears-Eagles game calls for 15-25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 mph. That's enough to impact deep passes and kicks. We're not adjusting any projections, but you could use the weather as a tiebreaker against guys from this game.

The Chicago Bears scored 31 points on offense against the Pittsburgh Steelers with three rookies overtaking the veterans in front of them. RB Kyle Monangai went 12-48-1 on the ground outperforming D’Andre Swift who only went 8-15-0. TE Colston Loveland went 4-49-1 compared to Cole Kmet’s 1-3-0. Finally, WR Luther Burden III surpassed Olamide Zaccheaus again this week with Burden going 3-46-0 on 5 targets while Zaccheaus caught his lone target for 6 yards.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift registered 90 yards on a season-high 21 carries in Sunday's win over the Vikings. Chicago leaned heavily on the run, logging 39 rushing attempts vs. just 32 passes (and two sacks). Just four of those 39 rushes came from the QB. Swift continued to lead rookie RB Kyle Monangai in work -- 21 carries to 12 -- but he ceded the lone TD to Monangai in worrisome fashion. And that wasn't even the only worrying factor.

Bears RB D’Andre Swift led the backfield in a Week 10 win over the Giants. Swift topped rookie Kyle Monangai in snap share (61% to 39%), carry share (62% to 33%), and route rate (56% to 39%) in his return from a groin injury.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He didn’t practice on Friday, presumably for personal reasons, and was listed as questionable. But Swift was a full-go on Thursday, so we’re not expecting the groin to be a major issue. It’s unclear exactly how work will be divvied between Swift and RB Kyle Monangai, with HC Ben Johnson suggesting Friday that he could ride the hot hand. Both guys have plenty of upside against the Giants’ 31st-ranked RB defense.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is expected to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Swift was seemingly on track to play after putting in a full practice on Thursday. But he was sidelined on Friday and had "personal" added to his listing on the injury report. The pattern makes us believe that the groin is not a big concern heading into this one. The question now is how backfield touches will be divvied after RB Kyle Monangai's big Week 9. HC Ben Johnson said Friday that he's willing to ride the hot hand. "I believe in a guy having the hot hand," Johnson said. "One guy, if he’s feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer." We're expecting Swift to get the start vs. the Giants -- and the first opportunity to get that hot hand. But this is a difficult backfield to project. The good news is that there should be lots of production to go around against the league's 31st-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He was a full-go in Thursday’s practice but sidelined on Friday and given a “personal” tag on the injury report. We’ll look for more info on Swift’s status for this one. We’re expecting him to lead a committee attack alongside RB Kyle Monangai if he plays. If not, Monangai would be a fantasy RB1 against a bad Giants run defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll be back for this weekend's game vs. the Giants after watching rookie RB Kyle Monangai run all over the Bengals last week. It's possible that performance earned Monangai a bigger role going forward. But there should be plenty to go around for both guys on Sunday against the Giants' 31st-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's an improvement over last week, when he missed all three practices before winding up inactive. We're tentatively expecting Swift back for Sunday's game vs. the Giants but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days. RB Kyle Monangai had a huge game with Swift out last week -- but it came against the Bengals. Swift still figures to have a significant role in this backfield when available.

Making his first NFL start in relief of D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai had a banner day, piling up 198 yards of offense and dominating Chicago's backfield in the Bears' 47-42 victory over the Bengals. The seventh-round rookie carried 26 times for 176 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and produced 106 yards after contact.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He's been battling this groin issue for a few weeks now. It either got worse over the last week, or the team finally decided to get him some rest. We'll see if he makes it back for Week 10. RB Roschon Johnson (back) is also out for this Sunday, leaving Kyle Monangai and Travis Homer as the healthy RB on the active roster. RB Brittain Brown is on the practice squad. Homer doesn't have a touch on offense this season, while Monangai's role has been growing in recent weeks. The rookie is a good bet to handle most of the backfield work in this matchup against Cincinnati's 32nd-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. That's a downgrade from last week, when he missed Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see if Swift gets on the field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. His absence in that one would leave rookie RB Kyle Monangai in a big role. RB Roschon Johnson (back) has remained sidelined this week after missing last Sunday's game.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Swift was in a similar boat last week and ended up playing his usual role vs. the Saints, racking up 138 yards and a score. We’re expecting Swift to be fine for the Ravens game but will get Chicago’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Roschon Johnson (back) has been ruled out, which would leave Kyle Monangai as the clear lead back if Swift were to miss this one.
