Kyle Monangai has had a surprising rookie campaign with the Chicago Bears in 2025.
Monangai, a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has given the Bears a boost in the running game alongside D'Andre Swift. Entering Week 17, the rookie has tallied 731 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry.
Though Monangai has turned into a key piece of Chicago's offense, he's off to a quiet start in Week 17 versus the San Francisco 49ers.
Is Kyle Monangai playing tonight?
Yes, Monangai is playing tonight.
However, the Bears didn't run the ball on their opening offensive series. Chicago's defense forced a pick-six off 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy to start the game.
Monangai will get it going soon. He's way too valuable to the Bears' running game to remain without a carry.
