ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Kyle Monangai has a turf toe injury, “placing uncertainty around his availability over the next 1-2 weeks.”

08 October 2026

At the beginning of the week, Monangai’s thumb injury was the initial cause for concern. The team kept quiet about the toe issue until Wednesday’s injury report. Per Fowler, Monangai is hoping to play through the turf toe injury, but consecutive absences to begin the week put him on the wrong side of questionable. Given the Bears’ run-heavy tactics, RB3 Roschon Johnson is worth adding for running back-needy fantasy managers.
