Bears: Multiple reasons behind Tarik Cohen's role reduction

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears rookie Tarik Cohen used to be one of the hottest names in the league, but the explosive all-purpose back's role on offense has greatly diminished in recent weeks.

Cohen was on the field for only 13 offensive snaps (out of a possible 60) and touched the ball just twice for 11 yards in Chicago's loss to Green Bay last Sunday.

Against New Orleans on Oct. 29, Cohen had five touches on offense for 8 yards in 18 snaps (out of a possible 67).

That's a far cry from Cohen's early-season accomplishments.
