Tarik Cohen is ready for an NFL comeback

Former Chicago Bears running back and return specialist Tarik Cohen has been out of football since injuring his knee on September 27, 2020, but according to ESPN's Adam Schefter (via Cohen's representation), he's healthy and ready to show the NFL what he can do.

The 2018 All-Pro punt returner was electric in his first three years in Chicago (2017-2019) when he had 203 receptions for 1,534 yards and rushed 250 times for 1,027 yards, with 15 total touchdowns.

On May 10, 2022, he wrote a moving letter to his younger self that was published by The Player's Tribune, where he chronicled his struggles growing up and how he persevered.
