Bears rule Kyle Monangai out for Week 5

The Chicago Bears will be without running back Kyle Monangai for their Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers due to a toe injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson. Despite initial assurances from Johnson that Monangai's thumb injury was not a major concern, the toe injury has proven to be more problematic, leading to Monangai's absence from the game.

Monangai had previously contributed significantly to the team's offense, rushing for 146 yards and two touchdowns in their previous game against the New York Jets. With Monangai sidelined, defensive back Andre Swift is now positioned to return to the top running back role, as he has reportedly worked to overcome his recent fumbling issues.
