Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai will miss Sunday’s game at Green Bay with turf toe, head coach Ben Johnson announced Friday, according to Bears reporter Larry Mayer.
Chicago’s leading rusher was seen in a boot at the Bears practice facility Friday and is considered week-to-week. The NFL’s top ground attack now faces a 2-2 Packers team without him.
Johnson said the toe proved a bigger concern than the team first realized. Monangai saw a specialist, did not practice Friday and is not a candidate for injured reserve, according to ESPN reporter Courtney Cronin.
“He’s in a boot currently,” Johnson said, as quoted by Chicago Tribune reporter Phillip Thompson.
Chicago (3-1) faces Green Bay (2-2) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field.

Kyle Monangai’s Turf Toe Injury Timeline
The problem began as a thumb. Monangai left the Week 4 win over the New York Jets with a right-thumb injury, and Johnson called it day-to-day on Monday.
“We think he’s going to be OK,” Johnson said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
By Wednesday, the Bears listed him with thumb and toe issues. Monangai did not practice that day or Thursday, according to the team’s official injury report.
