Ben Johnson Just Opened the Door for an Overlooked Bears Player

Zavier Scott has already scored an NFL touchdown, played a full season as a reserve and learned how quickly a roster spot can disappear. His next opportunity may come Monday night in Seattle, with a Bears team that is beginning to trust him with more. Kyle Monangai will miss his fourth consecutive game because of thumb and toe injuries, leaving Chicago without an important part of its backfield. D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson remain ahead of Scott, but Ben Johnson suggested the recently promoted running back could have a role beyond special teams.
