Former Bears RB Tarik Cohen on the comeback trail

Former Bears running back Tarik Cohen, who has not played in the NFL since suffering a knee injury in Week 3 of the 2020 season, is healthy and ready to attempt a comeback, his agent Drew Rosenhaus said.

The 5-6, 191-pound Cohen, a fourth-round draft pick from North Carolina A&T by Bears general manager Ryan Pace in 2017, was a big hit in three-plus seasons with the Bears. Cohen scored touchdowns as a runner, receiver and kick returner and threw a touchdown pass his rookie year and became a fan favorite as a little guy who made big plays. Cohen had pass receptions of 70, 70, 50 and 46 yards, a 46-yard run and kick returns of 71 and 61 yards.
