From @GMFB: The #Bears won't have RB Kyle Monangai for TNF tonight, but his return his coming. Plus, QB Caleb Williams i Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is back to full health ahead of Thursday night's scheduled matchup. Running back Kyle Monangai remains sidelined for the contest, though his return to the lineup is approaching.

Why it matters: Having Williams cleared stabilizes Chicago's passing attack for a midweek regular-season test. Monangai, who dealt with a soft-tissue injury and knee issues earlier this year, leaves the backfield without depth until he is cleared.

What to watch: Williams will lead the Bears offense once Thursday's game kicks off, while Monangai targets clearance ahead of the team's next outing.
