Bears' Final Injury Report for Seattle: Colston Loveland Is Cleared, Kyle Monangai Misses a Fourth Straight Game
The last injury report before Monday Night Football brought Chicago one piece of good news — its rookie tight end is off the list — and confirmed Seattle gets two running backs back while losing its left tackle.
The final injury report for Monday Night Football is in, and for the Chicago Bears it reads better than Friday's version did. Rookie tight end Colston Loveland, who was added to the report on Friday as a limited participant with a neck injury, is off the injury report entirely and will play against the Seattle Seahawks, according to the final report summarized Monday afternoon. Loveland's availability matters more than usual: with Cole Kmet on injured reserve, the rookie is the tight end the Bears' offense runs through.
The rest of Chicago's list is unchanged. Running back Kyle Monangai has been ruled out with thumb and toe injuries and will miss his fourth consecutive game, leaving the backfield workload with D'Andre Swift. Linebacker D'Marco Jackson is questionable with an ankle injury, and defensive back Malik Muhammad is questionable with a toe injury; both designations will be settled when the inactive list posts before kickoff.
Seattle's report moved in both directions. Running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price are both off the report and will return — Charbonnet making his season debut after recovering from a torn ACL, and Price back after missing four weeks with a chest injury. But the Seahawks ruled out left tackle Charles Cross (ankle), running back Velus Jones (hamstring) and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee), listed edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu as doubtful with an ankle injury, and carried guard Anthony Bradford, quarterback Drew Lock, linebacker Patrick O'Connell and defensive tackle Brandon Pili as questionable.
The matchup itself has not moved: Chicago is 5-2, Seattle is 4-3 and a three-point home favorite, with kickoff at 7:15 p.m. Central on ESPN from Lumen Field. What the final report settles is the shape of the trenches — a Bears defensive front, with Jeffery Simmons set for his Chicago debut, facing a Seattle line that will start a backup at left tackle, and a Chicago offense that gets its young tight end back for the primetime stage.
