We didn’t see much Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen this preseason, but we did not need to. Their roles are locked in on the Chicago Bears roster. Instead of risking their injury status, the team just got them loose and got extra reps in with the rest of the running backs to sort through who they should and should not keep.
After four preseason games and joint practices with the Denver Broncos, it has become apparent where the pecking order resides in Chicago. The two big dogs will make the roster. Benny Cunningham will make it, and Michael Burton will make it.
