Redskins RB Darrel Young (hamstring) missed practice Fr...

D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai both sat out Chicago’s opening practice ahead of Sunday’s game against Green Bay. Swift is listed with hip and knee injuries, while Monangai is managing thumb and toe issues.

Thursday will tell us whether either absence deserves concern. Monangai is coming off a 30-carry, 146-yard performance and has pushed this backfield toward a more balanced split. Johnson would become the contingency option if either starter is unavailable, but there is no reason to add him outside very deep formats yet.

Malik Nabers did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, although he worked with trainers on the side. Nabers described himself as more sore than usual and declined to predict whether he would play against Washington.

Nabers remains in starting lineups for now, but the knee designation makes this more notable than a routine Wednesday rest day. Fields would presumably become the leading Giants WR option if Nabers cannot play, while Likely would likely absorb the largest share of available targets from another position.

Jayden Daniels was a full participant Wednesday as he works back from a dislocated left elbow. The full practice puts Daniels on track to return against the Giants after missing Washington’s previous two games.

The news was less encouraging at WR. Stefon Diggs appeared on the injury report with a hamstring injury and did not practice, while Terry McLaurin remained sidelined by the hamstring strain that kept him out last week. Chigoziem Okonkwo, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White were limited.

Daniels can return to fantasy lineups if he avoids a setback, although the potential absence of both starting WRs would lower his passing ceiling. Diggs’ Thursday participation will be important because this is a new injury. If Diggs and McLaurin are both unavailable, Williams would lead the WR group, with additional opportunities available to Okonkwo, Burks and Brown.
