Rookie Trestan Ebner was undaunted by a modest debut as a replacement for injured running Khalil Herbert. Ebner gained eight yards on six carries in the Bears’ 27-24 loss to the Falcons last week.
“I was definitely encouraged,” said Ebner, a sixth-round draft pick from Baylor. “I know if you look at the stats, you’ll be like, ‘This guy didn’t do anything.’ But if you turn on the film and watch, you’ll see there was something there. When it comes to running the ball, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not.”
