Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) did not practice on Wednesday. It's looking like he'll miss his second straight game this weekend as he battles turf toe. RB D'Andre Swift is off this week's injury report after appearing with hip and knee issues last week. He should be in for plenty of work vs. the Falcons on Sunday.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Packers. He's dealing with turf toe and was in a walking boot on Friday. "We'll see how long that injury sidelines him," HC Ben Johnson said. RB D'Andre Swift is dealing with his own hip and knee injuries but should be in for a big workload this weekend. Roschon Johnson will step in as Chicago's No. 2 RB.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai has turf toe, putting his status for the next 1-2 games in question, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Monangai is "hoping to play through it and the team/player are still managing the situation," Fowler adds. But turf toe is a tough injury for skill-position players to play through. Monangai missed his second straight practice on Thursday, and we'd consider him unlikely to play vs. the Packers this weekend.

Bears RBs D'Andre Swift (hip, knee) and Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) did not practice on Wednesday. The team has often held players out of practice early in the week under HC Ben Johnson, so we're not overly concerned about either guy at this point. Johnson said before Wednesday's workout that the thumb injury Monangai suffered in Week 4 is "not an issue." Swift and Monangai can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now. If you're looking for insurance, you can stash RB Roschon Johnson. We'll update this backfield again on Thursday.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai's right thumb injury isn't serious, HC Ben Johnson said Monday. "We think he is going to be ok, so we'll see what it looks like as we go through the week here, but more of a day-to-day type deal," Johnson said. We'll track Monangai's status throughout the week, but it sounds like he has a good chance to play vs. the Packers this weekend. Monangai took over Chicago's backfield after D'Andre Swift's third-quarter fumble vs. the Jets, rushing 30 times for 146 yards and 2 TDs. We're betting on the backfield returning to status quo in Week 5, but there's certainly a chance Monangai takes on a bigger role if his thumb is ok.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift was added to the injury report with a knee and did not practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details at this point. We'll look for updates and see if Swift gets back on the practice field tomorrow. His absence would turn Kyle Monangai into a feature back and fantasy must-start against the Jets. He tallied 198 total yards on 29 touches when Swift missed Week 9 last year.

After sitting out on Thursday, Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) returned to a full practice on Friday. He should be ready for his usual role as the 1B behind D'Andre Swift vs. the Eagles on Monday night.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) did not practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details, although it's worth remembering that Monangai missed time in August with a hyperextended knee. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. His absence would turn RB D'Andre Swift into a workhorse.

Bears RB D’Andre Swift had a huge fantasy performance scoring 32.4 fantasy points. He ended with 18 rushes for 124 yards and 3 TDs. Swift also caught his only target for 10 yards. The explosive Bears offense benefited Swift, who helped the team score 59 points against the Carolina Panthers.

The Bears have signed a three-year extension with RB D'Andre Swift. The pact will reportedly pay $33.75 million, with $27.5 million guaranteed. That puts Swift under contract through 2029. And the high percentage of guaranteed money either makes it more likely he plays out the full span or means Swift will make even more over the next two years than the annual average indicates.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai is not listed on the Week 1 injury report. He hyperextended his right knee on August 16 and just returned to practice on Monday. But it looks like he'll be ready for his usual 1B role behind D'Andre Swift in Sunday's opener vs. the Panthers.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai returned to practice on Monday for the first time since hyperextending his right knee on August 16. He was wearing a sleeve on that knee but seemed to be moving fine.

We shared earlier this week the assessment from ESPN Bears writer Courtney Cronin that RB D'Andre Swift might've delivered the best camp among the team's skill players. Thursday morning brought apparent agreement from HC Ben Johnson.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift "had arguably the best training camp of any offensive skill player," ESPN's Courtney Cronin writes. Swift has been overshadowed in fantasy drafts by popular breakout candidates Colston Loveland and Luther Burden. But he's a nice value target in fantasy drafts.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai is expected to miss "multiple weeks" after hyperextending his right knee in Sunday's practice, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's practice, according to insider Adam Hoge. Monangai didn't need a cart but walked off the field "very gingerly," per Hoge. Fortunately, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that initial tests on the knee revealed no structural damage and that Monangai is "believed to be fine."

Bears RB Kyle Monangai was back at practice on Tuesday and took part in 11-on-11 work. He missed the first few days of camp with a soft-tissue injury, but that appears to be behind him now. Barring a setback, consider Monangai's fantasy outlook unaffected. The 1B in Chicago's backfield behind D'Andre Swift, Monangai is straddling the line between standalone fantasy option and high-end handcuff.

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.”
