Here are the Chicago Bears' inactives vs. the Buccaneers

The Chicago Bears' inactives list is out for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers By James Neveau Published November 8, 2026 Updated on November 8, 2026 at The Chicago Bears will once again be without running back Kyle Monangai when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday.

The Details

Monangai will miss his fifth game in a row due to thumb and toe injuries, and though NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport said earlier Sunday it’s expected the running back will return to the lineup after the team’s bye week, it’s still a tough pill to swallow against one of the NFL’s best run defenses.

Also absent from the lineup will be defensive back Malik Muhammad, who had been questionable to play with a toe injury. Muhammad will miss his second straight game, though Tyrique Stevenson will be in the lineup for the Bears.

Linebacker Keyshaun Elliott and defensive lineman Jayden Loving were both healthy scratches, and quarterback Case Keenum will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback for the game.

The Bears and Buccaneers will get underway at 7:20 p.m., with the game airing on NBC Chicago.
