Bears' RBs Swift & Monangai Injured Ahead of Vikings Game
18 Sep
Summary
- Top two Bears running backs, Swift and Monangai, are limited in practice.
- Swift has ankle and knee issues; Monangai is dealing with a hamstring.
- Roschon Johnson and Brittain Brown would see increased roles if they can't play.
The Chicago Bears, fresh off a dominant 59-point offensive showing, face a potential blow to their running game for Week 2. Star running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai were limited in practice on September 17th, casting doubt on their availability for the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift is reportedly dealing with ankle and knee concerns, while Monangai is suffering from a hamstring issue. Both players are currently listed as questionable.
If Swift and Monangai cannot play, the Bears' depth at running back is tested. Roschon Johnson, a former fourth-round pick who impressed in training camp, would likely step into the starting role. Brittain Brown, a practice squad member with limited career rushes, would be the backup. This situation arises as the Bears aim to maintain their NFC North lead in an important divisional matchup.
