Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Bears RB Kyle Monangai, who left practice today after injuring his knee, is believed to be “fine”, per source. Initial tests showed his knee to be structurally sound, but the team will do an MRI to confirm.
Per Adam Schefter, initial tests showed Monangai's knee to be structurally sound, and the second-year back is believed to be 'fine.' The club will still send him for an MRI to confirm there is no deeper damage before clearing him.
Monangai has been working to carve out a role in a crowded Chicago backfield, and any missed time in camp would slow that pursuit. The Bears have kept their rushing attack a focal point, and a clean MRI would let Monangai resume the competition without interruption.
For now, the signal out of Lake Forest is reassuring. The MRI is precautionary, and the team's tone suggests it expects Monangai back on the field shortly.
