One of head coach Matt Nagy's major goals for 2019 is to improve his running game, and to do so he has switched Cody Whitehair from center to guard, James Daniels from guard to center, crossed all his fingers and toes in the hopes that Kyle Long can stay healthy and reclaim his perch as the best guard in the NFC and almost completely rebuilt his running back depth chart.
Tarik Cohen will be the Bears only returning running back from 2018.
Jordan Howard, Benny Cunningham and Taquan Mizzell (now a receiver) will be replaced by third-round draft choice David Montgomery, free agent Mike Davis from Seattle, seventh-round pick Kerrith Whyte from Florida Atlantic and Ryan Nall who spent last season on the practice squad.
