CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears are releasing running back Tarik Cohen with an injury designation, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cohen, 26, missed 31 games over the last two years after tearing his ACL in Week 3 of the 2020 season. Next week, $2.5 million of Cohen's $3.9 million base salary was set to become fully guaranteed for injury on the third day of the league year.
General manager Ryan Poles would not disclose whether Cohen was healthy when asked about the running back's status last week at the NFL scouting combine.
