Bears Rule Out Kyle Monangai as Seahawks Get Potential Backfield Boost

Monangai’s absence reduces Chicago’s rushing power for Monday night.

Overview

  • The Bears officially ruled running back Kyle Monangai out Saturday for Monday Night Football after he missed practice all week with turf toe, extending his absence to a fourth straight game.
  • Seattle rookie Jadarian Price moved from limited participation to a full practice on Friday and is now eligible to be evaluated for activation under the NFL’s injured‑reserve return window.
  • The Seahawks’ Week 8 report still lists starters who did not practice, including left tackle Charles Cross and edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu, while Leonard Williams was limited with an Achilles issue but showed improvement.
  • Seattle added All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson in a trade and the team expects him to play Monday, creating an immediate reinforcement for the offensive line ahead of any running‑back returns.
  • Chicago’s depth is strained beyond the backfield after tight end Colston Loveland was limited in practice and Cole Kmet remains on IR, leaving D’Andre Swift and role backs to shoulder a heavier workload against a top run defense.
