Chicago Bears injury report: Theo Benedet returns to practice, Kyle Monangai still out

The Chicago Bears had a mixed bag injury-wise as they returned to practice Thursday ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Left tackle Theo Benedet (shoulder) returned to practice in limited fashion after the Bears estimated that he wouldn’t have had practiced Wednesday. The team didn’t practice Wednesday and instead held a walkthrough after Monday night’s win over the Seattle Seahawks. Chicago will practice one more time Friday before Sunday’s game.It wasn’t all good news, though. Running back Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) continued to miss practice. He hasn’t practiced since he injured himself in Week 4 against the New York Jets. Given that, it’s unlikely that he plays Sunday even if he did return to practice Friday. #Bears Injury Report pic.twitter.com/NAC7fZoOCS Bears Communications (@BearsPR) November 5, 2026Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (groin) was a limited participant after it was estimated that he would’ve been out Wednesday.
