Chicago Bears - Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert got his first taste of NFL action in the Bears’ 17-13 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. Herbert took reps with the second-team offense and showcased his versatility, being used as a rusher, receiver, and returner.
Herbert had a solid showing as a runner, putting up 38 yards on 6 carries, including a sixteen-yard run that put the Bears’ offense in the red zone. Herbert also seemed to have a good connection with fellow rookie Justin Fields. Fields were very comfortable checking down to Herbert when he couldn’t find an open player downfield.
