Monangai’s Knee Injury Rattles Bears Backfield | Chicago News

Bears’ rookie running back Kyle Monangai suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s practice, tangled with Grady Jarrett — initial reports suggest it may not be severe, but tests are pending. A seventh-round steal last season, Monangai delivered 783 yards on 169 carries and even started a game, dropping 176 yards against the Bengals. He was poised to be the No. 2 back behind D’Andre Swift, with the rest of the RB room uncertain — Roschon Johnson led in scrimmage stats. Both backs were crucial for durability; losing either would shake up the offense. Guard Joe Thuney hopes it’s minor, but admits injuries are inevitable. Stay tuned for updates.
