Kyle Monangai returned to practice only last week. But his 80% early-down rate and two red-zone touches (to Swift's six), at least for a one-week sample, indicate the separation of duties between the RBs.

Monangai's limited red-zone role aligns with preseason expectations despite early-down work.

Monangai returned to practice only last week and saw limited Week 1 usage consistent with preseason ADP expectations. He carried 80% of early-down snaps but received only two red-zone touches (vs. Swift's six), with six of his 10 carries coming in the fourth quarter. The separation of duties between the RBs indicates Monangai's role as a complementary back, though his preseason ADP suggested drafters anticipated this level of usage.
