Kyle Monangai dealing with soft tissue injury at Bears camp

Chicago Bears second-year running back Kyle Monangai is dealing with a soft tissue injury, although head coach Ben Johnson expressed optimism that the issue won't keep him out for long. Speaking to reporters Monday, Johnson said the Bears are taking a cautious approach with one of the team's most promising young offensive players. "We're taking it day-by-day," Johnson said. "It should be on the shorter side." The update should ease concerns about Monangai's availability as training camp progresses. Monangai is expected to play a significant role in Chicago's backfield after an impressive 2025 season, and the Bears have little reason to rush him back onto the practice field with more than a month remaining before the regular season opener.
