Monangai out Week 5 with thumb injury and turf toe; red zone impact

Monangai missed the first two days of practice with what was thought to be extra rest after heavy usage against the Jets, but then news broke that the second-year running back was dealing with a minor thumb injury and turf toe. He missed the Week 5 game against Green Bay. Since the team didn't place him on Injured Reserve, he's likely to miss fewer than four games. Monangai is the offense's best option in the red zone and the more physical change-of-pace piece; without him, the run game and red zone offense struggled significantly. If he remains out for Week 6 against Atlanta, the source suggests it might be time to give Xavier Scott an extended look.
