Kyle Monangai returns to practice after encouraging injury update

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai returned to practice Monday, just days after being sidelined by a soft tissue injury. Head coach Ben Johnson had described the injury as "day-to-day" and expected it to be "on the shorter side," and Monangai's quick return appears to validate that optimistic outlook. Monangai will play a key role in Chicago's backfield rotation this season, making his availability an encouraging development for an offense that plans to lean heavily on its rushing attack.
