Roschon Johnson Misses Practice With Foot Injury

Thursday, September 4, 6:33 PM

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (foot) is on the Week 1 injury report and was unable to take part in the first practice of the week on Thursday as the club prepares for a divisional clash in the season opener on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie Kyle Monangai (hamstring) is also on the injury report, but he was limited in Thursday's practice. It's still early, but Chicago's backfield is banged up going into their season opener. It's something that fantasy managers in deeper leagues should monitor if they're concerned about their RB depth. The 24-year-old Johnson didn't play in the preseason finale two weeks ago and could be in danger of missing Week 1, which could allow Monangai to have a bigger role right away behind D'Andre Swift. Johnson is merely a handcuff for those that have Swift rostered.

Jaylen Wright News

Jaylen Wright Absent From Practice Wednesday

Wednesday, September 3, 9:47 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. The 22-year-old opened the practice week on an unfortunate note as the Dolphins continue to prepare for Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. With that said, there are still two more days of practice for Wright's status to improve. Ideally, he logs at least one limited or full session if he's going to have a chance to play Sunday. Otherwise, there will be some shakeup within the Miami backfield, especially since starter De'Von Achane (calf) is also banged up. In the event that neither Wright nor Achane could play, rookie Ollie Gordon II would likely operate as the team's primary running back.
