Chicago Bears 2021 Roster Turnover: Running backs to get a boost with the return of Tarik Cohen

If it wasn’t for some injuries during the 2020 season, the running game of the Chicago Bears would have appeared much better then the final numbers would indicate.

They ended up averaging only 102.9 yards per game, which was 25th in the league, but they lost their number two tailback in their week three game for the rest of the season, the offensive line started getting dinged up in week five and that continued for several weeks, and then their lead back missed the game before the bye.

The Bears didn’t really stabilize the running game until after the bye week, so if you break the rushing numbers up into three parts you can see the roller coaster they were on.
