With Tarik Cohen out, Bears eye in-house help

There’s no one like Tarik Cohen. Whomever takes his snaps won’t be able to replicate the versatility, or the electricity, the running back has given the Bears over the first three-and-a-half years of his career.

The Bears talked Monday as though they’ll stay in-house — at least at first — to replace Cohen’s snaps after they confirmed he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee returning a punt Sunday. He’s out for the year.

“We feel very confident with the guys that we have in our room,” running backs coach Charles London said. “Obviously, David [Montgomery] has had a good start to his season, and I expect him just to continue to get better and better each week.
