From the article

Kyle Monangai was already trending toward being questionable for Week 5 with a thumb injury, but Chicago threw us a curveball late in the week when the team announced that Monangai was also dealing with turf toe and would be considered 'week-to-week.' Historically, foot and toe injuries result in roughly two weeks missed. More specifically, no RB in my database since 2017 has missed fewer than two weeks with turf toe. Given that trend, I suspect Monangai won't practice much, if at all, this week. I currently have him projected to return in Week 7, although I'm fairly split between Weeks 7 and 8. Fantasy managers should prepare for a multi-week absence.

Turf toe projects to multi-week absence; no RB missed fewer than two weeks since 2017.

Dealing with both a thumb injury and turf toe, with the turf toe announced as 'week-to-week' late in the week. Historically, no RB in the source's database since 2017 has missed fewer than two weeks with turf toe; the source projects Monangai to return in Week 7, though fairly split between Weeks 7 and 8. The source advises fantasy managers to prepare for a multi-week absence and notes that uncertainty remains about whether the thumb injury could further delay his return.
