Bears hit by running back injuries as D’Andre Swift exits practice and Kyle Monangai is week to week

In Chicago, the Bears are facing challenges with their running backs due to injuries. D’Andre Swift, a key player, left Thursday's practice with a trainer due to leg issues. Kyle Monangai, another vital player, is currently uncertain as he is dealing with a leg injury that has sidelined him since Aug. 16. Monangai, a seventh-round draft pick, played well in his debut season, amassing 783 yards and five touchdowns.

The team also has Roschon Johnson, Salvon Ahmed, and Zavier Scott on their roster, with Johnson and Ahmed on the practice squad. Johnson, a fourth-round pick from Texas, had a disappointing preseason, while Ahmed and Scott have shown potential. Offense coordinator Press Taylor is confident in Johnson and Ahmed, stating that they have earned the coach's trust.

Meanwhile, Scott, who recently signed with Chicago, is expected to learn the offense as he gets acclimated to the team.
