Running Back · Chicago Bears
Kyle Monangai
No. 25 · 2nd season
Kyle Monangai hasn't practiced yet, and Ben Johnson is watching closely
Training camp opened and Kyle Monangai wasn't on the field. He's been absent since day one, dealing with a soft tissue injury — the kind that doesn't come with a clean timeline.
Monangai is a running back for the Chicago Bears, and right now his place in their plans is on hold. Head coach Ben Johnson addressed the situation Monday, keeping it measured: day-to-day, shorter side, no panic.
But missing the first stretch of camp is real time lost. Running backs build rhythm in the summer — timing with the line, getting comfortable in a new system. Every practice missed is a smaller window to show who you are before the season starts.
Johnson's tone was calm. The calendar is not.

Bears HC Ben Johnson told reporters that RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a soft tissue injury. “We're taking it day-by-day,” Johnson said. “It should be on the shorter side.”
