What happened: Bears running back Kyle Monangai left practice after injuring his knee, per a source. He is believed to be fine, with initial tests showing the knee structurally sound. The team will still run an MRI to confirm the findings.

Why it matters: A clean MRI would keep Monangai's preseason timeline intact rather than sidelining him for an extended stretch. The exam result determines whether Chicago needs to plan around a gap in its backfield depth.

What to watch: Chicago awaits the MRI to confirm Monangai's knee status.
