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 (knee) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was held out of Thursday’s practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. He should be ready for his usual role against the Jets this weekend.

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.

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.

On the same day that Rome Odunze leaves practice, Swift also leaves with an apparent injury. Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports that “After carrying the ball on a first-and-10 from the offense’s own 1-yard line, Swift came off the field apparently holding at his midsection or core area.” The Bears are now dealing with injuries to their top two running backs.

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 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 active for today’s matchup with Green Bay. Swift was added to the injury report on Wednesday (limited), although he put in another limited session on Thursday. Expect Chicago to continue leaning run, especially with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden sidelined. Swift – with 16+ touches in three straight – remains an RB2.

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.

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 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) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but Swift played and produced well through this injury last week. He’s safe to keep in fantasy lineups as a RB2.
