Bears | Cole Kmet's knee injury believed to be a torn ACL Fri Oct 23, 12:36 PM
Bears TE Cole Kmet's knee injury is believed to be a torn ACL, a source said on Friday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Kmet is "believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury" and was set for more tests Friday morning, adding that "until those results come back, there is no finality." Kmet was carted off after grabbing his knee in Thursday's win over the Patriots, and head coach Ben Johnson said after the game that it didn't look very good. The Bears have not made an official statement.

Bears | Cole Kmet believed to have 'serious, likely season-ending knee injury' Fri Oct 23, 11:29 AM
Bears TE Cole Kmet, who was carted off in Thursday's win over the Patriots, is believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury, sources said. Kmet is undergoing testing on Friday morning, and until those results come back, there is no finality.
| Footballguys view: Kmet's production hasn't been great since 2023, when he logged his lone TE1 fantasy season. But he's the longest-tenured Bear and a team leader. As a traditional tight end, Loveland lets Colston run more routes, and the Bears are losing a key part of their offense, even if the box score doesn't show it. They drafted Sam Roush 69th overall this year, and he's been slow to get up to speed so far. He'll need to step into a bigger role with Kmet out, but the Bears could be in the market for a trade as they dream about a postseason run. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai ruled out for Thursday vs. Patriots Wed Oct 21, 03:06 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 7 game against the Patriots. Monangai did not practice on Monday or Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: This will be the third game in a row that Monangai is going to miss. A turf-toe injury can be complicated to recover from, so the team is taking a safe approach. Since they didn't put him on Injured Reserve, it's logical to believe Monangai could return to the football field in Week 8. D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson carry the load for the Bears on the ground in Week 7. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai DNP again on Tuesday estimated report Tue Oct 20, 05:02 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report after the team held a walkthrough. It is his second straight DNP this week ahead of Thursday's game against the Patriots, after he also did not practice on Monday. Monangai was ruled out for the Week 6 win at Atlanta with the toe injury.

Bears showing 'mindfulness to preserve' D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson takes second-half work Tue Oct 20, 09:46 AM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift had only four of his 16 carries (44 yards, two touchdowns) after halftime in Sunday's win over the Falcons, as the team managed his workload and rode RB Roschon Johnson as what it felt was the hot hand late in the game. Swift's second-half usage has been a topic since Week 4. "I think there's a mindfulness to preserve him a little bit. It's a long season," offensive coordinator Press Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Taylor added that Johnson "was really contributing pretty well for us in a number of aspects" and "showed up in the pass game quite a bit" despite a fourth-quarter fumble. "Swifty was ready to go if we needed it," Taylor said. The good news? Even with a quiet fourth quarter, Swift finished the week as RB5 with 23 points. He's also RB10 for the season. So even if a timeshare isn't ideal, it's not crushing Swift's value. |

Bears | Williams throws for 305 yards, a touchdown in win over Falcons Sun Oct 18, 04:21 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards with 1 touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 19.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.5.
| Footballguys view: Williams was in control much in the same fashion he was when the Bears scored 59 points in Week 1. The Week 2 game in the rain against the elite Vikings defense appears to be the outlier. Williams could have had a much bigger game, but the Bears were up 31-7 and the offense let up, allowing the Falcons to get back within one score late in the game. This is actually good for Williams and the rest of the Bears' fantasy stock, as Ben Johnson probably won't make the mistake of letting up again until the opponent has also waved the white flag by putting in backups. |

Bears | Tyson Bagent backs up Caleb Williams vs. Falcons, Keenum the emergency QB Sun Oct 18, 11:32 AM
Bears QB Tyson Bagent is the backup to QB Caleb Williams for Sunday's game against the Falcons, with QB Case Keenum serving as the emergency third quarterback. Williams returns from a hamstring injury that had him listed as questionable. Head coach Ben Johnson had declined to commit to Bagent as the backup on Monday after Bagent was benched for Keenum during the Week 5 loss to the Packers.

Bears | Bears planning to start Caleb Williams vs. Falcons after full week Sat Oct 17, 04:30 PM
The Bears are planning to start QB Caleb Williams in Sunday's game at the Falcons, NFL Network and ESPN reported on Saturday. Williams missed the past three games with a torn hamstring but went through a full week of practice without any setbacks.
| Footballguys view: The offense posted 59 points in the one game that Williams started that was not played in the rain against one of the toughest defenses in the league (Minnesota). He accounted for four touchdowns in that game. Williams becomes a high-ceiling QB1 on this news and is difficult to leave on your bench this week. |

Bears | Caleb Williams questionable for Week 6 after full practice Fri Oct 16, 02:51 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game at the Falcons. Williams was a full participant in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Williams practiced in full all week. Ben Johnson doesn't like showing his cards when he doesn't have to. We expect that, barring a huge setback, Williams will be the Bears' starter on Sunday against the Falcons. |

Kyle Monangai still 'week-to-week,' avoids IR, 'trending in the right direction' Fri Oct 16, 02:04 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe) remains week-to-week but will avoid injured reserve, head coach Ben Johnson said on Friday. "Trending in the right direction," Johnson said. Monangai missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and has been declared out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Turf toe is notorious for lingering, and rest is the only cure. By avoiding IR, the hope is that Monangai can return in the next week or two. Roschon Johnson will be the Bears' RB2 while Monangai is out. He's a shaky flex play, and D'Andre Swift moves into the back-end RB1 discussion. |

Bears | Caleb Williams 'do not know if I'm playing,' says hamstring was 'a pretty serious' tear Thu Oct 15, 07:31 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams said on Thursday, "Before you start asking, I do not know if I'm playing yet," despite two full practices this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, The Athletic's Dan Wiederer reported. He still has checkpoints to clear and a "stress test" to pass before he can play. He has missed the past three games since injuring his hamstring on a fourth-quarter scramble in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings, and he disputed reports of a strain: "It was a hamstring tear, and a pretty serious one." Williams declined to reveal the grade of the tear.

Bears | Caleb Williams full again, 'on track to start' vs. Falcons Thu Oct 15, 03:31 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday for a second straight day, putting him on track to start Sunday's game against the Falcons. Williams missed Sunday's game against the Packers with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Bears here. The offense can be one of the most dangerous in the league when Williams is out there running the show. Hamstring injuries are tricky to deal with, but Williams is on track to start. If he practices fully on Friday with no setbacks, we've got him as a mid-range QB1 in Week 6. |

Bears | Caleb Williams a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report Wed Oct 14, 12:09 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, head coach Ben Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Williams missed Sunday's loss to the Packers with the hamstring injury after being listed as questionable following a limited practice on Friday. He's getting closer to a return, and we should see the Bears' franchise quarterback in action on Sunday. If he plays against the Falcons, Williams should be considered a QB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Bears | Montez Sweat suspended two games Tue Oct 13, 04:32 PM
The NFL announced on Tuesday that Bears defensive end Montez Sweat is suspended without pay for two games for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.
| Footballguys view: Sweat will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons and the following Thursday night game against the Patriots. He will then be eligible to return Week 8 against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. The 30-year-old Sweat, who arrived in Chicago via trade from Washington during the 2023 season, has started all five games and played 69 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps this season. He has two sacks. |

Bears | Ben Johnson won't commit to Bagent as backup: 'three guys that can win games' Mon Oct 12, 04:20 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson did not commit to QB Tyson Bagent as the starter if QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) can't play this week against the Falcons.
| Footballguys view: Asked on Monday whether Bagent is still the QB2, Johnson said, "We have three guys that can win games in this league." Bagent was benched during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Packers after throwing for 87 yards. He was replaced by Case Keenum, who didn't fare any better. Ideally, Williams returns, and the QB2 isn't an issue. |

Bears | Bagent held to 87 passing yards in loss to Packers Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Chicago Bears QB Tyson Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 16.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.2.
| Footballguys view: Bagent wasn't able to do anything against a Packers defense that had been mediocre at best so far this season. The Bears have to hope Caleb Williams will be back for next week's game at Atlanta. Since Bagent was benched for Case Keenum, who wasn't much better, it's not clear who would start if Williams isn't ready to return from his hamstring injury in Week 6. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai out, 'week-to-week' but IR not an option Fri Oct 9, 04:05 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers with a thumb and toe injury, and he is in a walking boot for the turf toe. Head coach Ben Johnson said Monangai is week-to-week and that injured reserve isn't an option right now.
| Footballguys view: Monangai is out for Week 5 and potentially more as he manages a turf toe injury. D'Andre Swift has no injury designation and should maintain the bulk of the backfield's touches, and he's a must-start RB1. Expect Roschon Johnson to mix in, making him a touchdown-dependent flex option. |

Bears | Caleb Williams questionable after limited practice Friday Fri Oct 9, 03:01 PM
Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game at the Packers. Williams, who has missed the past two games, returned to practice on a limited basis on Friday after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: This is almost assuredly gamesmanship, as Ben Johnson tried to get inside Matt LaFleur's head. Williams missed Wednesday and Thursday practices, and his Friday participation was limited. If he plays, you can start him as a QB1. But Tyson Bagent will almost certainly get the starting nod this week, while Williams seems on track to return in Week 6 against the Falcons. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift has no injury designation for Sunday at Green Bay Fri Oct 9, 02:54 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 5 game at Green Bay. Swift missed some practice time this week with hip and knee injuries, sitting out Wednesday before returning as a limited participant on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Swift was benched last week after dealing with a knee injury and coughing up an egregious fumble. With Kyle Monangai out for the matchup, though, Swift will lead the backfield. Ben Johnson has always preferred a two-man backfield, and Roschon Johnson should be involved as a change-of-pace player. Swift can be relied on as a back-end RB1, and Johnson as a risky RB3. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift (hip, knee) 'should be able to play' Sunday at Green Bay Fri Oct 9, 11:29 AM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip, knee) should be able to play in Sunday's Week 5 game against the Packers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Friday. Swift did not practice Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Kyle Monangai expected to miss this week, the Bears will be counting on Swift to handle the bulk of the backfield touches in a rivalry matchup against the Packers. Roschon Johnson got some work last week when Swift was benched, and he'll likely get some change-of-pace work in this matchup, too. If Swift is active, though, which seems increasingly likely, he'll be a high-end RB2. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai is dealing with a turf toe injury that places uncertainty around his availability over the next one to two weeks.

Bears | D'Andre Swift limited Thursday after sitting out Wednesday Thu Oct 8, 03:31 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip/knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.
| Footballguys view: The return to the field is a step forward for Swift ahead of Sunday's game at the Packers. Kyle Monangai is working through a turf toe injury, and his availability for the next couple of weeks may be uncertain. Swift should play, and we might see more Roschon Johnson if Monangai can't go against the Packers. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight absence. RB D'Andre Swift returned to practice in a limited capacity on the same day.
| Footballguys view: Reports suggest Monangai has a turf toe injury, placing uncertainty around his availability over the next 1-2 weeks. Turf toe is a tricky injury to deal with, and it's best to let them heal as much as possible. If Monangai has to miss time, Roschon Johnson might be in line for more work behind Swift. |

Bears RB Kyle Monangai's thumb injury is more of a day-to-day issue, and he should be OK, head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Monangai suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jets, when he ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns. The running back told reporters after Sunday's game that he would have further testing today, so Johnson's answer has likely been informed by those tests. We'll continue to follow up. |

Bears | Tyson Bagent will start in Week 5 against the Packers Mon Oct 5, 12:18 PM
Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start Sunday's Week 5 game at the Packers, head coach Ben Johnson said on Monday. Bagent was in line to start Sunday's game against the Jets after QB Caleb Williams was ruled out for that game. But Bagent technically was not the starter on Sunday, as Case Keenum took the first snap with Bagent split out at receiver.
| Footballguys view: Still, it was Bagent's show the rest of the way, as he completed 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards with an interception. In 14 career games with five starts, Bagent has completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 1,239 yards with three touchdowns and seven interceptions. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai has thumb injury after 146-yard, two-TD day vs. Jets Sun Oct 4, 07:58 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai has a thumb injury that is currently being evaluated, head coach Ben Johnson said after Sunday's 23-12 win over the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Monangai took over as the lead back after RB D'Andre Swift lost a fumble in the third quarter. Monangai met the media after the game, and he said he'd find out on Monday about his thumb. When asked when he hurt it and whether it was jammed, he said: "I couldn't even tell you. I just looked down at my hand, and I said, 'Oh, that hurts.'" Monangai finished the game with a career-high 30 carries, 146 yards, with two touchdowns (also a career-high), and one reception for 4 yards. |

Bears | Raymond held to 2 catches for 6 yards in win over Jets Sun Oct 4, 04:01 PM
Chicago Bears WR Kalif Raymond caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 23-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: The Bears ran 89 offensive plays in this game with their backup quarterback, so while this dud stings after Raymond was the fantasy star Monday night, he is still a strong hold in PPR leagues with Caleb Williams due back soon. The Packers defense is up next and they aren't an imposing matchup even if Williams isn't back, so Raymond will stay in what-the-heck flex consideration. |

Bears | Monangai runs for 146 yards, two TDs in win over Jets Sun Oct 4, 04:01 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai ran 30 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 23-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.5.
| Footballguys view: D'Andre Swift wasn't on the injury report, but he missed a practice with a knee issue that Ben Johnson characterized as typical wear and tear. Swift also fumbled in this game, which could have played into Monangai taking over work in the second half after Swift had a costly goal line fumble in the Week 2 loss to the Vikings. Johnson also could have decided to rest Swift with Monangai running hot and the starter getting up slowly after his fumble. Swift was also stopped at the goal line in Week 2. Monangai might be the biggest winner in fantasy leagues in Week 4, but Swift can still be a weekly RB2/Flex play with this running game getting into gear and Caleb Williams' return coming soon. |

Bears | Tyson Bagent set to start vs. Jets with Caleb Williams out Sat Oct 3, 10:45 AM
Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start Sunday's game against the Jets in place of QB Caleb Williams, according to sources. Bagent watched third-string QB Case Keenum "tear up the Eagles defense" on Monday night and now gets his chance to fill in for Williams, who has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Even though Case Keenum was fantastic on Monday night against the Eagles in Week 3, the Bears are going to Bagent. He went through training camp and the preseason, and Bagent won the no.2 job behind Caleb Williams. With the Bears offense being dynamic, Bagent is an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift carries no injury designation for Week 4; Caleb Williams out Fri Oct 2, 03:00 PM
Bears RB D'Andre Swift has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Jets. QB Caleb Williams and OL Braxton Jones are ruled out, and S Cam Lewis is doubtful after not practicing on Friday. DT Shemar Turner, LB Noah Sewell and CB Kyler Gordon, all on the PUP list, were full participants in practice.
| Footballguys view: Swift unexpectedly popped up on Thursday's injury report as a DNP for a knee injury, but it sounds more like a veteran rest day than a true DNP. Especially after Swift fully participated in Wednesday's walkthrough, Thursday's absence was a surprise. It's not uncommon for the Bears to manage Swift's workload during the week. He is off to a blistering start and is currently the RB7 in PPR leagues. Get him in your lineup as a back-end RB1. |
