Former Chicago Bears Running Back Tarik Cohen to Join Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have plans to sign Tarik Cohen, a former running back for the Chicago Bears. Sources have confirmed that Cohen is expected to join the Panthers practice squad. Cohen, who was drafted by the Bears in 2017, had an outstanding season in 2018 with a career-high 1,169 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns in 16 games. He was also recognized as a first-team All-Pro that year due to his impressive 441 yards on punt returns. Unfortunately, Cohen has faced some setbacks in recent seasons due to injuries, including a knee injury in 2020 and a torn Achilles in 2022. Despite these challenges, Cohen has proved himself to be a valuable player with a total of 2,676 yards from scrimmage throughout his four seasons with the Bears.
In 2020, the Bears signed Cohen to a 3-year, $17.2 million contract extension, but released him last off-season. Meanwhile, the Panthers secured Miles Sanders, a former Philadelphia Eagles running back, with a 4-year, $25.4 million contract earlier this year. The Panthers currently have two other running backs on their roster, Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear. In their first game of the season, Sanders had 98 yards from scrimmage on 22 touches, while Hubbard logged 69 yards on 11 touches. Blackshear did not play.
The Panthers, who have started the season with a 0-1 record, will face the New Orleans Saints on Monday in Charlotte, N.C., hoping to secure their first win of the year.
