The Chicago Bears didn’t change much with their RB depth chart this offseason.
The only running back they added to their roster was seventh-round draft pick Kyle Monangai, who they apparently trust to get the job done if called upon.
It comes into the spotlight in Week 3 as starting RB D’Andre Swift heads into Sunday with a questionable tag on the injury report.
If Monangai has to play, the 0-2 Bears will need him to come through against the Dallas Cowboys.

Monangai came to the Bears as the No. 233rd overall pick, in the seventh round, of the 2025 NFL Draft.
How tall is Kyle Monangai?
Monangai is short and strong.
He checks in at 5-foot-8 and 207 pounds.
He didn’t run a crazy 40-yard dash in the pre-draft process, just 4.60 seconds.

Chicago Bears RB depth chart
This is how the Bears’ backfield looks if healthy:
- D’Andre Swift
- Kyle Monangai
- Roschon Johnson
Monangai got seven carries in Week 2, proving him the direct backup to Swift.
Johnson was promising as a rookie two seasons ago, but he averaged less than three yards per carry in 2024 to knock him out of major future plans in Chicago.
