Kyle Monangai Ruled Out for Third Straight Game With Toe and Thumb

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai has been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup against the New England Patriots due to lingering thumb and turf toe injuries. This marks his third consecutive absence. Head coach Ben Johnson previously indicated expectations to place Monangai on injured reserve, leaving open a potential return in Week 8 at Seattle. D'Andre Swift will continue to lead the backfield with Roschon Johnson handling reserve reps against New England.
