Kyle Monangai Ruled Out Again for Week 7 vs. Patriots
Monangai misses a third straight game, opening the door for Chicago's backfield backup to step up on Thursday night.
Kyle Monangai is out again Thursday night, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). The Bears ruled him out for a third consecutive game due to thumb and toe injuries, and he was a non-participant on all three injury reports during the short week leading up to the Patriots matchup.

Monangai has been productive when healthy — 324 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and five catches for 39 yards in 2026 — so his absence is a real hit to the Chicago offense. Roschon Johnson will get another week in the 1B role. In dynasty formats, his underlying production this season gives him strong hold value once healthy.
On a positive note for Chicago's run game, right guard Jonah Jackson is active after coming off the injury report entirely. A full offensive line matters for whoever gets the carries — Jackson's return at least keeps the blocking unit closer to full strength.
