One of the Bears’ most exciting players in recent years, running back Tarik Cohen, is retiring at 29. Cohen was trying to make a comeback with the Jets this year after recovering from multiple major injuries, but a source said he informed them Thursday that he’s leaving football.
His decision came two days after saying he “definitely feel[s] all the way back” in training camp with the Jets, who hoped he could be a factor as a kick returner thanks to the NFL’s new format for kickoffs.
