Overview
- Kyle Monangai was limited earlier in the week with a hamstring but was upgraded to full practice participation on Friday and his progression increases the chance he plays in the upcoming game against Philadelphia.
- D'Andre Swift is also listed as a full participant on the injury report, meaning the Bears could have their top two running backs available together.
- Monangai has totaled 147 rushing yards on 20 carries through two games and opened the season with a 100-yard, one-touchdown performance.
- Tyson Bagent remains in the NFL concussion protocol and Caleb Williams' status is uncertain, which has led reports to indicate veteran Case Keenum is likely to start if Williams cannot play.
- A healthy Monangai gives play-caller Ben Johnson a more reliable run game to lean on, so Chicago's Week 3 game plan will hinge on Monangai's game-day clearance and Bagent's return-to-play outcome.
