Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai has been sidelined by injuries to his right thumb and turf toe. Initially expected to miss at least three games, Monangai has now been ruled out for the matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, marking his fourth consecutive game missed.

Coach Ben Johnson confirmed that Monangai failed to participate in practice and noted the toe injury is more significant than previously anticipated. While Monangai has not been placed on injured reserve, the team has elevated Zavier Scott from the practice squad to provide depth in the backfield. There is currently no official timeline for Monangai’s return.
