The team’s final Friday injury report revealed significant challenges, particularly in the backfield. Running back D’Andre Swift addresses the absences, forcing rookies and backups to step up against the Bengals. Key Absences: D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson ruled out D’Andre Swift, the Chicago Bears’ primary running back, missed practice all week with a lingering groin injury and has been officially ruled out. It’s a setback for Swift, who has scored a touchdown in each of the last four games and racked up 444 yards from scrimmage during that stretch. The issue apparently dates back to earlier in the season, first appearing on the injury report after the win over the Commanders. Backup Roschon Johnson is also out with a back injury that sidelined him last week. Wide receiver Luther Burden III remains sidelined with a concussion suffered against the Ravens, marking another blow to the offense. Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy praised Swift’s resilience. “It’s really been a chronic thing for a while now,” Johnson said. “We’re just doing our due diligence to make sure we get the best version of Swift to help this team, for him and his individual success, and we just want to make sure we have him in a good place for the whole season.” Kyle Monangai to step up Without Swift and Johnson, the duties in the backfield fall heavily on rookie Kyle Monangai. The first-year quarterback has rushed for 186 yards and one touchdown so far this season. He will likely start and share carries with Travis Homer and Brittain Brown. Monangai expressed gratitude for the chamber’s mentorship, “I learn every day,” Monangai said. This opportunity comes against a Bengals defense that ranks last in rushing allowed and 28th in yards per carry. Monangai’s appearance could overcome these weaknesses in the Bears vs. Bengals exploit power play. Positive returns: Tyrique Stevenson and Cole Kmet cleared cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) and tight end Cole Kmet (back), both absent last week, are off the injury report and full participants. Their returns will bolster the defense and passing attack, providing stability amid the absences. Receiver Updates Early in the week, the Chicago Bears’ top receivers DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Olamide Zaccheaus all missed Wednesday’s practice. Burden’s concussion is keeping him out, but Moore (hip/groin), Odunze (heel) and Zaccheaus (knee) advanced to limited Thursday and full Friday, clearing them to play. The limited reps opened doors for depth players like Jahdae Walker, Devin Duvernay, Maurice Alexander and Miles Boykin to work with quarterback Caleb Williams.

He said the incident started with heavy rain accompanied by strong winds. “Yes, it was hail for about 5 minutes, at 16:30 WIB,” Cindy said on Friday (31/10/2025) when asked. Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENTS Cindy realized there was hail after she heard what sounded like a hard object falling on the roof of her house. Then this afternoon he saw ice pellets falling with the heavy rain. He said the gusts were also quite strong during the rain. Other residents also seem to be aware of the hailstorm, which immediately became a hot topic of conversation in the residents’ communication group. “It rained heavily for a few minutes, and then it started ‘klotak-klotak’ on the roof. It also rained. The lid of my garbage can in front of the house flew towards the neighbor,” he said. There was a humorous moment when hail appeared in Cindy’s house for a long time. He said his pet cats panicked. “What was shocking was that my cat immediately hid. I just took this one picture, I rushed in because my cat was panicking,” he said. Cindy said the ice pellets that fell were about 1-2 centimeters (cm) in size. He admitted that during the 2 years he lived there, it was the first time he encountered the phenomenon of hail. “The diameter is 1 to 2 cm, that’s more or less.

Jakarta – Deputy Minister of Social Affairs Agus Jabo emphasized that the Ministry of Social Affairs is trying to break the chain of intergenerational poverty by providing People’s Schools. This free boarding school program is designed so that children from disadvantaged families can receive a decent education. “People’s School is a strategic program and national priority that aims to break the chain of poverty through education. The principle is simple, all Indonesian children must go to school, whether rich or poor. And this is where the state comes in and picks up the ball to help children from poor families to go to school,” says Agus in a written statement, Friday, (31/10/2025). Agus further emphasized that the People’s School program is part of President Prabowo Subianto’s grand vision to build an Indonesia that is independent and sovereign in all fields. Note that these ideals can only be achieved if all elements of the nation are united. Scroll to continue with content “I, as Deputy Minister and assistant to the President, invite all officials, both at the central and regional level, to really understand the direction of President Prabowo’s thoughts and programs. We must have one vision, not go our own ways. The cabinet must be solid, convert the President’s thoughts so that the people can immediately feel in concrete action,” he said. Agus added that this program carries the concept of a boarding school with complete facilities, from study rooms, dormitories, kitchens, dining rooms, laboratories, libraries, to vocational training. Apart from that, they are also guided and mentored for 24 hours by teachers, foster carers, hostels and educational staff with a curriculum that covers not only cognitive abilities but also character intelligence and life skills. “The President wants children from underprivileged families to still have three things. Smart, character, both national, religious and social character, and skilled. So, if they don’t want to go to college after graduating high school, they can go straight to work to help their families,” he said. According to Agus, the success of this program really depends on the role of teachers and residence guardians who function not only as educators, but also as mentors and substitutes for parents in the school environment. He advised educators not only to teach, but also to embrace and accompany children with great love. In its implementation, the People’s School involves various parties from across ministries and institutions, local government, TNI and the private sector. “This People’s School is a national initiative by the sector. It includes the Ministry of Social Affairs, other ministries, including elements of the TNI. But the TNI’s task here is only to accompany and support, not to teach, and not to be included in the curriculum. The aim is to ensure that learning and residence activities run smoothly,” he emphasized. Furthermore, he then told of a mother in Temanggung, Central Java who was grateful that her child could return to school thanks to the presence of the People’s School. With an income of only about IDR 900 thousand per month, this mother, who initially resigned because she could not continue her child’s education after graduating from high school, now feels grateful because she can study at a human school. According to Agus, the People’s School is a bridge for many disadvantaged families to realize their dreams. He also advised students to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the country with enthusiasm and courage, and not to give up easily to pursue the future. Although supported by complete facilities and qualified educational staff, the People’s School program still faces challenges in changing the character and habits of children who previously lived in difficult environments. However, positive changes begin to appear after a few months. “Children who used to be shy now have self-confidence. Those who used to be thin are now healthy. This is thanks to the hard work of the teachers, boarding teachers and the whole team,” he concluded.
