Schefter: Swift left practice due to 'a cramp'
Key Points:
- Bears running back Kyle Monangai suffered a right knee hyperextension injury during a recent game, and while initially expected to be fine, he is now set to miss multiple weeks according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
- Monangai was able to walk off the field unassisted after the injury but has not practiced since last Wednesday, raising some concerns despite the team's "day-by-day" approach and optimism for a short absence.
- If Monangai remains sidelined, starting RB D’Andre Swift is expected to absorb a significant portion of the workload, with Roschon Johnson likely serving as the primary backup.
- Bears coach Ben Johnson has ambitious offensive goals, aiming to surpass the 2013 Denver Broncos' record for highest-scoring offense, which could elevate the fantasy value of key players including Caleb Williams, D’Andre Swift, and others.
- The Bears' running back depth behind Monangai and Swift includes Roschon Johnson and Brittain Brown, but the team may need to adjust its offensive strategy if injuries persist.
