Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai remains week-to-week with knee injury

The Chicago Bears open their season against the Carolina Panthers in one week with the status of running back Kyle Monangai uncertain. Monangai sustained a minor knee injury during an August 16 practice and has not yet returned to full participation. Head coach Ben Johnson classifies the player as week-to-week for the upcoming contest. Teammate D'Andre Swift reported that he observed Monangai running during recent workouts and described the player as being in good spirits. If Monangai is unavailable for the season opener, the team will rely on Swift and Roschon Johnson to lead the rushing attack. Monangai finished the previous season with 783 rushing yards and five touchdowns as part of a tandem that contributed to a top-three league rushing performance.
