Roschon Johnson Inactive on Monday Night
Roschon Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for the Monday night contest against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. Johnson was able to get in a limited practice on Saturday after being listed as a DNP on Thursday and Friday, but it was not enough for the Bears to clear him to play in the season opener. He has been dealing with a foot injury since early August and could be in danger of missing Week 2 against the division-rival Detroit Lions as well. With the 24-year-old sidelined on Monday, rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai is expected to work as D'Andre Swift's backup, although it probably won't amount to a ton of action in his first regular-season NFL game. If Johnson continues to miss time and Monangai impresses, it's not out of the question that Monangai could leapfrog Johnson on the RB depth chart.
