What happened Friday at Halas Hall:
Loveland concern
The newest issue for the Bears is that tight end Colston Loveland was limited in practice because of a neck injury. It was his first time on an injury report in more than a year.
The injury comes just as Loveland was starting to heat up. He has 13 catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games.
Monangai still out
The Bears hoped the extended break between the games against the Patriots and Seahawks would give running back Kyle Monangai a shot to get back on the field, but it looks as though he’ll miss his fourth consecutive game with a toe injury. He missed practice again.
Monangai had 324 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the first four games as a complement to D’Andre Swift.
Corner office
The Bears might be OK at cornerback Monday. Tyrique Stevenson continued practicing through a hamstring injury, and Malik Muhammad (toe) was limited.
Poles on Kmet
General manager Ryan Poles sounded hopeful to have tight end Cole Kmet back next season. Kmet is out for the rest of this season with a knee injury and has a relatively affordable out in his contract for 2027, but Poles said the team is working to help him return to ‘‘original form.’’
Put it on his tab
The NFL fined quarterback Caleb Williams $23,882 for wearing Caddix cleats against the Patriots last week. That’s double the fine he incurred for wearing them against the Falcons.
