Running back David Montgomery did not practice and is day to day after suffering an ankle injury against the Texans last week. But with Khalil Herbert averaging 7.3 yards a carry, the Bears’ running game is less likely to suffer.
Herbert ably took the lead role against the Texans after Montgomery left early in the first quarter. The 2021 sixth-round pick rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries — the most rushing yards in the NFL in Week 3. His 52-yard run on the Bears’ first offensive play of the second half led to Herbert’s one-yard touchdown run that gave the Bears a 20-17 lead.
