Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Buccaneers. His limited practice on Friday was his first since going down back in Week 4. We’d be a little surprised if Monangai played after just one practice coming off the lengthy absence, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. At minimum, he should be ready to go after Chicago's Week 10 bye.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He's missed the past four games and is in danger of missing a fifth on Sunday night against the Buccaneers. RB D'Andre Swift has racked up 55 touches in a workhorse role over the last two weeks.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Monday night's game against the Seahawks. RB D'Andre Swift has averaged 15.7 carries and 4.7 targets with Monangai out over the last 3 games. He's a fringe RB1 play in Week 8, despite the matchup with Seattle's ninth-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) was listed DNP on Thursday's injury report. Chicago didn't actually practice today, so it's an estimation. But it still doesn't bode well for Monangai's chances of playing vs. the Seahawks on Monday night. We'll keep you posted on his status over the next few days.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) is out for Thursday night's game vs. New England. Chicago will again roll with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson in the backfield. It's a plus matchup against the Patriots, who sit 26th in our Run Defense Power Rankings.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He's looking unlikely to make it back for Thursday night's game vs. the Patriots, which would again leave the backfield to D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson.

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. HC Ben Johnson said Friday that Monangai is still “week to week” but will not be placed on IR. "Trending in the right direction,” Johnson added. We’ll see if Monangai can make it back for Week 7. D’Andre Swift gets another game as clear lead back against Atlanta.

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.
