Kyle Monangai expected to return for Bears in Week 11 after injuries

Kyle Monangai, the Chicago Bears' running back, will miss his fifth consecutive game on Sunday night due to thumb and turf toe injuries, Yahoo Sports reported.

The Bears have decided to give Monangai two additional weeks of rest and recovery, utilizing their Week 10 bye to aid his healing process, according to Yahoo Sports.

Monangai is officially expected to return in Week 11 when the Bears host the New Orleans Saints, allowing him nearly two months to recover fully, Yahoo Sports noted.

Other Bears players inactive for Sunday's game include cornerback Malik Muhammad II, linebacker Keyshaun Elliott, defensive tackle Jayden Loving, and quarterback Case Keenum, while defensive back Tyrique Stevenson Sr. is expected to play with a splint, Yahoo Sports reported.

On the opposing side, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have receiver Emeka Egbuka active for the game after recovering from a foot injury, but several other players, including outside linebacker Yaya Diaby, will be inactive, Yahoo Sports stated.
