Kyle Monangai Plays a Limited Role
Kyle Monangai was the team's primary backup for Week 1, with Roschon Johnson (foot) ruled out before kickoff. However, the seventh-round rookie from Rutgers was not very involved in the Bears' game plan. He played just 13% of the team's snaps compared to 81% for D'Andre Swift, and Monangai didn't get a single carry in his NFL debut. He did avoid the dreaded bagel by hauling in his only target for an 11-yard reception on the Bears' opening drive. His only other appearance in the stat sheet was a declined holding penalty, which isn't a great way to earn more playing time. Monangai still has the potential to grow into an expanded role down the road, but for now, he doesn't appear to be involved enough to be more than a handcuff to Swift.
