Bears to go with QB Tyson Bagent in Week 5

Kyle Monangai has a thumb injury. He said he would have to get it looked at Monday. Did not know how he did it either.

"I couldn't even tell you. I just looked down at my hand and I said, oh, that hurts."

Cronin's post went on to say that Monangai's last play was a third down run that came up just shy of the sticks. She said Monangai exited the field with 4:08 to play and didn't come back to the game. Cronin added what may be some good news in that Monangai spoke in a press conference setting afterwards. Most times if an injury is really significant, the team won't make the player available. We'll have to see if Monangai is able to get on the practice field this week. Signs are at least pointing in the right direction, but things can certainly change.

Receiver Tyreek Hill could be signing with an NFL team (possibly the Chiefs) very soon. There’s an issue beyond the status of his knee that could impact his availability.

Per the NFL, Hill remains under an active Personal Conduct Policy review.

The investigation was sparked by the divorce filing initiated by his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, the story said. She has made specific allegations of domestic violence against Hill, the story adds. Hill’s history complicates the situation. Past incidents, including a 2015 guilty plea to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in an incident involving his then-pregnant girlfriend, could result in an enhanced suspension — if the league finds a Personal Conduct Policy violation in connection with Vaccaro’s allegations, the story points out. As the story adds, there is rarely a timeline for these kind of investigations, but if Hill signs it could obviously move things to the front burner - as the story puts it.

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill could be back in the NFL very soon.

Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN that he plans to begin negotiations with teams about a contract for the wideout. Rosenhaus added that he does not expect it to take a long time for those talks to lead to an agreement.

“I would anticipate Tyreek potentially signing with a team over the next few days,” Rosenhaus said.

We reported from ESPN that Hill and the Chiefs had been talking even before injuries to Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton in Week 4. Hill has been dropping hints about a possible return on social media, and was starting to disappear off fantasy waiver wires. ESPN reported in the same story that Hill was eyeing a November return. Among Hill's social media posts were videos of him working out, showing that he could be close to a return. Hill, of course, is coming off a major knee injury and is 32-years-old, but he would have value on an offense like the Chiefs where he's already has familiarity. It will remain to be seen just how much time he needs after he signs. At the very least he could be a deep threat replacement for Thornton, assuming the Chiefs are his landing spot. As we said in our previous post, roster spots are valuable, so you may have to stash Hill a few weeks before you can think about using him in lineups.
