Kyle Monangai - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cleared to play Sunday Monangai (knee) is not listed on the Bears' Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

Impact After missing a bunch of training camp and the entire preseason with a hyperextended knee, Monangai's ready to roll for the games that count. He should fill a similar role as last season behind D'Andre Swift, who out-carried Monangai 32 to 21 in the Bears' two playoff games. Monangai is one of the premier fantasy bench stashes at running back, and he could have some standalone value during bye weeks.

Back at practice Monday Monangai (knee) returned to practice Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It marked Monangai's first practice action since he hyperextended his knee Aug. 16. It's unclear if Monangai will be able to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Panthers, but he's obviously nearing 100 percent. D'Andre Swift (abdomen) was also back at practice Monday after dealing with cramps last week.

Resumes running Fellow RB D'Andre Swift said Monangai (knee) "looked good" while running Wednesday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Since hyperextending his right knee in practice Aug. 16, Monangai has been described as "week-to-week" on multiple occasions by coach Ben Johnson, including as recently as Tuesday, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com. Swift's view of Monangai one day later likely means the latter ran on the side versus in any drills, but it's at least the first positive sign that he's making progress in his recovery. If Monangai ends up being limited or even sidelined to begin the season, Swift likely would be a bellcow in the Bears offense, with Roschon Johnson on hand for any RB reps that linger.

Impact Monangai experienced a scare during the aforementioned session, when he was tackled from behind by Bears defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. Initially, Monangai's right knee was deemed to be structurally sound, and he was dealing with only a hyperextension, but he remains in the week-to-week category via Johnson just as he was two weeks ago. As such, Monangai could be in danger of being limited or even sidelined for the Bears' season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 at Carolina. Roschon Johnson would receive a bump in relevance behind D'Andre Swift in such a scenario.

Deemed week-to-week by coach Monangai (knee) is considered week-to-week, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact The second-year back suffered a hyperextended knee during Sunday's practice, and now coach Ben Johnson has offered a loose timeline for Monangai's return. There are still nearly four full weeks until the Bears' season-opener against the Panthers, so Monangai's progress will be tracked in the interim. For now, D'Andre Swift looks to be primed to handle a big workload until Monangai is ready to return.
