The injuries just keep piling on for the Chicago Bears, and it’s adding on with running back Kyle Monangai.
Monangai left practice on August 16th after teammate Grady Jarrett tackled him from behind.
“They were not wearing pads today and Grady seemed to realize it mid-tackle, attempting to hold Monangai up at the end,” Adam Hoge of CHGO Bears tweeted out. “He clearly felt bad.”
Later that day, ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted out that Monangai was believed to be “fine,” saying, “Initial tests showed his knee to be structurally sound, but the team will do an MRI to confirm.”
However, his colleague Jeremy Fowler revealed a new timeline for Monangai’s injury, which isn’t what Bears fans want to hear.

According to Fowler, Kyle Monangai suffered a hyperextended knee.
“Expected to miss multiple weeks but per the MRI the outcome is considered positive after a recent practice injury,” Fowler added.
It’s one thing to suffer an injury during practice, but another when the injury could have been avoided if Grady Jarrett had known better. And it’s not like Jarrett is a rookie either. He’s been in the NFL since 2015.
Jarrett has yet to comment on the situation.
