Bears' Kyle Monangai: Believed to be "fine" after exiting practice
Monangai is believed to be "fine" after exiting Sunday's practice with a right-knee injury, and he will undergo an MRI, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Monangai walked off the practice field under his own power after he was tackled from behind by defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. Schefter added that initial tests showed that his knee was structurally sound, but the team will confirm the severity of the injury with a subsequent MRI. When healthy, Monangai should combine with starting running back D'Andre Swift to form one of the NFL's best rushing duos for the second year in a row.

Bears' Dayo Odeyingbo: Plays in Saturday opener
Odeyingbo made one tackle assist in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.
Odeyingbo played 12 defensive snaps in the contest, good for 18 percent of the Bears' defensive plays. The defensive end has just recovered from an Achilles tendon tear and was quickly shut down alongside the rest of the starters after gaining a glimpse of 2026 NFL action.

Bears' Cam Lewis: Participates Saturday
Lewis made one tackle assist during Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.
The starting free safety played just 15 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps in the contest, participating in just 10 defensive plays. Any playing time is a good sign for Lewis, who has recently healed from a leg injury where he needed to be carted off the practice field. The 29-year-old will likely see a similar snap share in Saturday's preseason contest against the Bengals.

Bears' Kyle Monangai: Exits practice with apparent injury
Monangai left Sunday's practice due to an apparent right-knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Monangai went down after being tackled from behind by defensive tackle Grady Jarrett in a non-padded session Sunday. The second-year running back walked off under his own power, albeit very gingerly, while departing with a trainer, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com. Monangai will likely undergo further testing to evaluate the severity of this apparent injury. The 2025 seventh-round pick popped during his rookie season, tallying 169 carries for 783 yards and five touchdowns while playing behind veteran D'Andre Swift.

Bears' Montez Sweat: Returns to practice
Sweat (undisclosed) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Sweat had not practiced since early August due to an unknown minor issue. The starting defensive end was afforded time to get healthy and is now set to suit up. The Bears' second preseason contest is against the Bengals next Saturday, and Sweat will likely open the game with the first-team defense for at least a few snaps of live football.

Bears' Kyle Monangai: Sits out preseason opener
Monangai did not play in the Bears' 34-10 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday.
Both Monangai and D'Andre Swift observed Saturday's game from the sidelines while 2023 fourth-rounder Roschon Johnson led all Bears running backs with 22 snaps on offense. Monangai, a seventh-round selection of Chicago in the 2025 NFL Draft, is coming off a productive rookie campaign in which he logged 169 carries for 783 yards (4.6 YPC) and five touchdowns while adding 18 catches (on 30 targets) for 164 yards across 17 regular-season games, two of which he rushed for 130-plus yards. The Rutgers product is expected to serve in a complementary role behind Swift for the upcoming season.

Bears' Rome Odunze: Doesn't play vs. Cleveland
Odunze did not participate in Saturday's 30-14 preseason win over the Browns.
Odunze was joined by fellow wideouts Luther Burden (groin), Kalif Raymond and rookie third-rounder Zavion Thomas (knee) on the sidelines, along with tight ends Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland. Odunze saw his production dip from his rookie season to his sophomore campaign, though that was partly due to him missing the final five games of the 2025 regular season due to a heel injury. This year, Odunze has the opportunity to live up to his potential as a former top-10 pick, given that DJ Moore is now in Buffalo.

Bears' Colston Loveland: Idle for preseason opener
Loveland did not play in the Bears' 34-10 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday.
Loveland and other key skill players -- including Luther Burden (groin), Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet -- sat out of Saturday's practice, allowing more snaps at tight end to go to Sam Roush and Stephen Carlson. Loveland, a first-round selection of the Bears in the 2025 NFL Draft, saw his playing time and production increase over the course of his rookie season, highlighted by his performance in Chicago's NFC wild-card win over Green Bay, when he caught eight passes (on 15 targets) for 137 yards. With DJ Moore (lower body) now in Buffalo, Loveland is poised to be an even bigger contributor to the Bears' offense in 2026, with Odunze, Burden and Kmet being his main competition for passes from quarterback Caleb Williams.

Bears' Tyson Bagent: Plays first half in preseason opener
Bagent completed 13 of 22 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Saturday's 34-10 preseason win over the Browns. He added seven yards on his lone carry.
Caleb Williams got the day off in the Bears' preseason opener, and Bagent played the entire first half while leading two scoring drives, the first of which ended in a 25-yard TD toss to depth wideout Maurice Alexander in the second quarter. Bagent remains ahead of Case Keenum, who took over to begin the second half, on the QB depth chart, but it would take an injury to Williams for either to see meaningful action in 2026.

Bears' Ruben Hyppolite: Injures shoulder in preseason opener
Hyppolite is dealing with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Saturday's preseason win against the Browns, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Hyppolite led Chicago with seven tackles (four solo) in the victory and added a defensed pass, but he injured his shoulder in the second half and was unable to return. It's not clear at this point how serious the injury is, but it takes on some added significance since Hyppolite missed two games late last season due to a shoulder issue. The Maryland product is slated to serve as a rotational outside linebacker for the Bears if healthy this year.

Bears' Nephi Sewell: Suffers concussion Saturday
Sewell was concussed during Saturday's preseason win against Cleveland, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Sewell was hurt during a kickoff and spent a few minutes on the ground before exiting under his own power. He finished the game with three tackles (one solo). Sewell will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to full-contact practice or playing in a game. He's trying to earn a role with Chicago as a depth linebacker and special-teamer.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Timeline to return 'unkown'
Bears coach Ben Johnson said Saturday that Gordon's timeline to return to practice from his calf injury is "unknown," Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Gordon is still dealing with the calf issue that he suffered in May. The 26-year-old was placed on the active/PUP list July 25 and hasn't been able to practice. Gordon will be a key part of the Bears secondary if healthy this season, but the ongoing injury issues are concerning after he played in only three regular-season contests last year due to soft-tissue injuries (though he did return for Chicago's two playoff games). Should Gordon not be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Josh Blackwell could be asked to step into a starting role.

Bears' Xavier Woods: Departs preseason opener with groin issue
Woods suffered a groin injury during Saturday's preseason win over Cleveland, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Woods made one tackle before he had to exit due to the issue. The extent of the injury isn't yet clear, nor is the timeline for the veteran defensive back to be ready to play again. With Cam Lewis (leg) also currently sidelined, undrafted rookie Skyler Thomas may get a larger opportunity to show off his skill set.

Bears' Nikola Kalinic: Hurts knee in preseason opener
Kalinic suffered a right knee injury during Saturday's preseason victory versus the Browns, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Kalinic had to head to the locker room during the game due to the injury. Coach Ben Johnson said after the contest that the tight end hurt his right knee but didn't elaborate on the extent of the issue. Kalinic didn't see any targets during his time in Saturday's preseason opener. He's competing for a depth role among the Bears' TE corps.
