The Chicago Bears entered Week 13 with a major question mark at running back.

However, it was Swift who got the start for the Bears in the Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Is Kyle Monangai playing today?
Yes, Monangai is active, but the Bears decided to give Swift the start and for now it looks like he'll return to his lead back role.
Why the Bears gave the rookie more carries last week isn't clear, but it might have something to do with Swift's lost fumble, which may have landed him in the dog house.
