Kyle Monangai Headshot

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.

Monangai is seemingly on track to play in Sunday's opener vs. the Panthers, although it's possible that his role is reduced coming off the 3-week absence. He shouldn't be in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Monangai's availability dents D'Andre Swift's outlook, but he still checks in as a strong RB2 in the Week 1 Rankings.
