    Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice on Wednesday.

    Bears coach Ben Johnson continues to indicate the Monangai will be good to go for Week 5, but it is worth monitoring the Bears’ practice reports. D’Andre Swift (knee/hip) was also sidelined to begin the week. If Swift is unable to play, Monangai would take on a sizable workload in Week 5 against the Packers.

    Johnson did add, “He had 30 carries, and he feels like he had 30 carries.” Monangai will play in Week 5 versus the Packers, but it doesn’t sound like he will double up D’Andre Swift in carries for the second week in a row. Expect a more even split of the work this week, with Swift potentially returning to his normal lead-back role. Even with fewer carries, Monangai is locked in as a fantasy RB3.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai seemingly winds up on the injury report every other week, but he keeps playing and keeps playing well. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him listed again this week, but it sounds like he’s very much in line to play against the Packers.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift was playing his usual lead back role in the run-first Chicago offense when he lost a fumble in the second half and did not return to action, ceding the backfield to Kyle Monangai, who ended the game with 30 rushes for 146 yards. Swift, who has been struggling with a knee injury, was stuffed twice at the goal line in the first half. It was looking like a big day against a gettable New York run defense. If Swift misses time, Monangai would be a must-play option in all formats. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 5.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai played his usual role behind D’Andre Swift until Swift lost a fumble in the second half. Monangai then took over the Chicago backfield and gouged New York’s front seven time and again. The Bears, with Tyson Bagent under center, were massively run heavy, logging 49 rushing attempts on the day to 34 pass attempts. While we’re not sure if Swift was benched for the fumble or if he was struggling through his lingering knee issue, Monangai’s Week 4 performance could net him more opportunity in Week 5 and beyond. Swift’s practice status should be closely monitored throughout the week.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift popped up as a DNP on Thursday’s injury report, but Johnson said his RB1 will practice on Friday. We’ll see where things go from here, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Swift drew a questionable designation entering the weekend. Swift has rushed 54 times for 253 yards and three touchdowns this season while also catching eight passes for 68 scoreless yards. If he is unable to play in Week 4, Kyle Monangai would be firmly on the fantasy radar as a strong RB2.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai has exactly 10 carries in all three games to start the 2026 season, which pales in comparison to lead back D’Andre Swift, the latter of whom has seen 19 or more opportunities in each game. The lack of volume relegates Monangai to handcuff status in fantasy circles for the time being, at least until bye weeks begin in Week 5. He’ll be a difficult start in Week 4 against the Jets.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    It doesn’t seem like there’s much concern that he’ll miss Monday Night’s game against the Eagles after skipping the first practice of the week for the team on Thursday. Monangai took two limited sessions with a different ailment (hamstring) last week and should be in line for RB2 duties behind D’Andre Swift in what could be a more limited Bears running game with Case Keenum under center.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai dealt with a knee injury in August that sidelined him for multiple weeks. He logged 12 touches in Week 1, then managed a hamstring injury last week before handling another 12 touches in Week 2. The robust running back will likely be good to go for the Bears’ Week 3 Monday Night Football game against the Eagles, but Monangai’s practice status is worth tracking.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai actually lead the Bears in rushing in adverse weather conditions at Soldier Field, though D’Andre Swift led in receiving. Monangai’s most notable play might have actually come via Swift, who lost a fumble at the one-yard line. Perhaps that will have coach Ben Johnson extra committed to getting Monangai his most important short-yardage looks. With Caleb Williams looking doubtful for Week 3 against the Eagles with a hamstring injury, we could see an even bigger dose of the Bears’ backfield than usual. Monangai remains a safe, if low-upside, RB3/FLEX.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai’s continued participation is a good sign, but soft tissue injuries can be finicky. It would be really nice to see him practice in full tomorrow. If that is indeed the case, Monangai can be started as a high-upside FLEX. Continue monitoring his status. The Bears list RB Roschon Johnson as the next player up.

    Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Love was listed as a limited practice participant after he tweaked his ankle in the Cardinals’ Week 4 loss to the Giants. Though he seemingly seized command of Arizona’s backfield in Week 3, Tyler Allgeier was heavily involved in Week 4 as Love hurt his ankle. He was already nursing his other ankle heading into the season and may see limited touches again with this latest tweak. Love is still trending to play Week 5 against the Lions but may sit back on the RB2/3 borderline as his ankle heals.

    Seahawks RB George Holani (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Holani was listed as a limited practice participant due to a rib injury on Wednesday. The 26-year-old operated as a passing-down backup to Emanuel Wilson in Week 4 with Jadarian Price out. Unless he misses practice later this week, he is still on track to play in Week 5, though Holani does not have a large enough role to achieve fantasy relevance.

    Broncos CB Patrick Surtain (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Neither Surtain or Riley Moss (ribs) practiced on Wednesday. Head coach Sean Payton said the Broncos don’t anticipate placing Surtain on injured reserve. The injuries to both corners look to be shorter-term; Surtain is week-to-week while Moss’ return timeline is not disclosed yet. Both are on the wrong side of questionable for Week 5 against the Chargers.

    Chargers OL Trevor Penning (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Penning suffered a concussion in the Chargers’ Week 4 loss and is still in the protocol to start the week. Also not practicing was G Kayode Awosika, who has missed multiple games with a fibula injury. Both are in jeopardy of missing Week 5, dealing serious blow to Justin Herbert’s offensive line.

    Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    In addition to Johnston, TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) and WR Brenen Thompson (quad) were also limited. Johnston has played in every game this season, but pops up on the practice report with a chest issue on Wednesday. He is not yet in danger of missing Week 5, barring setbacks later in the week. Neither Thompson nor Kolar have played since Week 2 but both have a chance to return this week against the Broncos. With Ladd McConkey (foot) not practicing, Johnston may have fantasy value as the Chargers’ No. 1 wideout this week.

    Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Though head coach Jim Harbaugh ambiguously said we would get McConkey in practice, the 24-year-old is officially listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Harbaugh also previously stated McConkey will be day-to-day after he re-aggravated the foot injury in Week 4. Ultimately, it’s unclear if McConkey will play this week given he generally pushes through injuries with little practice time, but a re-aggravation could lead to a game missed this time around. Stay tuned for practice reports later in the week to provide clarity on his Week 5 status.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chargers OT Joe Alt (neck) is expected to miss Week 5 against the Broncos.

    An already disappointing season continues to tumbler for the Chargers. LT Rashawn Slater (ankle) is already out this week and Alt will join him on the injury report. Neither starting tackle has been able to stay healthy over the course of their careers, making life difficult for QB Justin Herbert. Though Alt is expected to miss this week against the Broncos, Rapoport adds that there are “no plans” for him to go on injured reserve.

    Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Charbonnet is starting to ramp up to a return from his torn ACL last season. The Seahawks opened up his practice window and he was limited on Wednesday. He is already ruled out for Week 5, but a Week 6 return is not out of the picture just yet.

    49ers EDGE Nick Bosa (knee/calf) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Bosa has yet to return to practice since injuring his calf two weeks ago in practice. He is listed with both knee and calf injuries and is seemingly not close to returning to in-game action. Bosa will need to practice before we can consider him ready to go for Week 5 or beyond.

    Texans EDGE Will Anderson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Anderson popped up on the injury report with an ankle issue to open the week. As one of the league’s elite pass-rushers, the 25-year-old is a key cog to the Texans defense. He did not practice Wednesday, putting his Week 5 status in jeopardy. Anderson still has chances to practice later this week and play against the Titans, but any time missed puts the 0-4 Texans in an even deeper hole.
