No surprise with RB Kyle Monangai being ruled out. I don't think he's far off, but this wasn't going to be the week. We' Via @JamesPalmerTV on X

What happened: Kyle Monangai was ruled out for this week. T.J. Edwards is a long shot to play, with D'Marco Jackson continuing in his spot. The plan gives Edwards extra time before the trip to Seattle.

Why it matters: Chicago has stayed comfortable with Jackson handling the middle. Monangai's absence thins the backfield for another week. Holding Edwards out keeps the defense stable while preserving him for Seattle.

By the numbers: Monangai ran 169 times for 783 yards and 5 touchdowns in 17 games in 2025, per ESPN. Jackson made 43 tackles with 1 sack and 1 interception in 16 games in 2025, per ESPN. Edwards made 67 tackles with 0.5 sacks and 1 interception in 10 games in 2025, per ESPN.

What to watch: Edwards' practice participation late in the week will define his Seattle availability. Monangai's return to practice is the other marker.
