With decision looming this month, new Bears GM mum about Tarik Cohen’s health

INDIANAPOLIS — Like his predecessor, new Bears general manager Ryan Poles refused to detail the health of Tarik Cohen — or even whether he was currently healthy at all — at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. The running back has missed the team’s last 30 regular-season games since tearing the ACL in his right knee while returning a punt against the Falcons in 2020.

Poles was asked whether he was healthy — and danced around the question. That spoke volumes.

“You know, I don’t really want to get into the medical piece of individual players,” Poles said.
