David Montgomery

Running back D'Andre Swift has made some nice plays during OTAs. Here's how he could be the all-around weapon that the Bears have been looking for at running back.

The Bears finished second in the NFL in rushing in 2023. Here's a look at how their running backs fared during the season, and what the plan for the position might be moving forward.

Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds didn't play at all during the Lions' game-winning drive. Defensive end Montez Sweat sat out three plays on the 11-play drive. Why? Bears coach Matt Eberflus explains.

Justin Fields was back to his electric form as a runner on Sunday against the Lions, but a fourth-quarter meltdown overshadowed everything for the Bears. Here's what went down at Ford Field in Detroit.

After a long layoff, the Bears return to action this weekend against the Detroit Lions. Here are the five storylines to watch heading into Sunday's game.

With injuries to Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson at running back, the Bears could be looking toward D'Onta Foreman to be their starting running back this weekend against Minnesota. Foreman hasn't played since Week 1.

Khalil Herbert is going to be a big part of the Bears' offense in 2023. Herbert was the most efficient running back in the NFL last season.

The Bears used their first pick during day three of the draft on Texas running back Roschon Johnson. This season will be about finding out what exactly Johnson can do. It's possible they found a diamond in the rough, but he'll have to prove it.

D'Onta Foreman dealt with multiple injuries and his father's death prior to his big break in the NFL. His successful 2022 proved to himself and his doubters that he can be a difference-maker.

With David Montgomery gone, the 2023 season will be a big one for running back Khalil Herbert. But new additions bring plenty of competition at running back.

If Fields is to become the player the Bears are dreaming about, he needs to run the ball less. A lot less. But, if they are going to notably improve the league’s worst passing game, they can’t afford a step back in the running game, Hub Arkush writes.

Jack Sanborn and David Montgomery won the Brian Piccolo Award, given annually to a Bears rookie and a Bears veteran who exemplified the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Brian Piccolo.

Changing NFL strategies have devalued the running back position, but a special prospect such as Texas' Bijan Robinson potentially falling to No. 9 is a scenario Bears GM Ryan Poles at least has to consider, Hub Arkush writes.

D'Onta Foreman had a breakout season in 2022 with the Carolina Panthers. Now, he believes he can make a difference in the Chicago Bears' backfield.

Bears GM Ryan Poles was active in the run-up to the official start of NFL free agency. Hub Arkush, Sean Hammond and Kyle Nabors break down the latest news and rumors.

Bears GM Ryan Poles sent the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft to the Carolina Panthers on Friday in exchange for standout WR D.J. Moore and four picks. Kyle Nabors and Sean Hammond share their initial reaction.

With $98 million in available salary cap space, the Bears have more money to spend than any other NFL team this year. General manager Ryan Poles has nearly unlimited options ahead of him for bolstering Matt Eberflus' defense.

With $98 million in available salary cap space, the Bears have more money to spend than any other NFL team this year. General manager Ryan Poles has nearly unlimited options ahead of him for bolstering an offense led by quarterback Justin Fields.

The Bears elected not to use the franchise tag in 2023, meaning running back David Montgomery will head to free agency. With several other star running backs receiving the tag, Montgomery is among the best available free agent running backs.

Bears GM Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus will speak at the NFL Combine this week. Here are the big questions they will face this week and over the coming months.

David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert were a nice one-two punch at running back. Here's a look back at their 2022 seasons, and what might be next for the Bears at the running back position.

Ryan Poles has plenty of work cut out for him in the coming months. Here's a breakdown of where the Bears' roster stands now. Who is under contract and who is a free agent?

Justin Fields needs more help – more receivers, more linemen. But, first and foremost, "my job is strictly get better, work on my skills at quarterback," Fields said. The 23-year-old QB is focused more on himself than anything.

With the first year of the Bears’ rebuilding project officially over, it’s time for GM Ryan Poles to infuse the roster with some true difference makers, John Dietz writes.

Jaquan Brisker reflects on his relationship with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. Plus notes on Velus Jones Jr.'s touchdown and David Montgomery's future with the Bears.

The Detroit Lions have a shot at the playoffs, but they desperately need a win against the Bears on Sunday. Here's what to watch for in the Week 17 NFC North division showdown.

The Bills rans for a season-high 254 rushing yards Saturday at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Bears had no answer for the Bills' attack in a 35-13 loss.

After several extra point misses, Cairo Santos has made a change to his routine. Plus, kicking in this weekend's bitter cold and wind could add some extra challenges for both the Bears and the Bills.

The Bears take on the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Soldier Field. Here's what to watch for in this week's matchup.

Receiver Chase Claypool will sit out Sunday's game against Philadelphia due to a knee injury. The Bears will need other receivers to step up in the absence of Claypool and Darnell Mooney.

After a week off, the Bears return to action this week with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Matt Eberflus said rookies Jaquan Brisker and Kyler Gordon should be back in the starting lineup after sitting out with concussions.

A.J. Dillon’s 21-yard TD run and Christian Watson’s 46-yard jet sweep that went for a touchdown enabled the Packers to overcome deficits of 10-0 and 16-3 and walk out of Soldier Field with a 28-19 victory.

The Bears generated zero quarterback hits on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Plus a young secondary played surprisingly well, tackle Alex Leatherwood saw his first action and a blocked field goal proved costly.

After sitting out this week, does Justin Fields still have a shot at Lamar Jackson's 2019 QB rushing record? What if he sits out again against Green Bay? Here are the latest stats that stand out for the Bears.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said that receiver Darnell Mooney will likely have surgery on his ankle and his 2022 season will be over. Eberflus did not provide an update on injured safety Eddie Jackson.

Bears safety and team captain Eddie Jackson suffered a noncontact foot injury during the second quarter Sunday against the Jets. The injury happened on the now infamous MetLife Stadium turf. Receiver Darnell Mooney left the game with an ankle injury.

Even with Justin Fields' recent success, the Bears' passing attack is still on pace to be among the NFL's worst over the last decade. Plus a closer look at the team's sack rate, current draft position and more.

There’s no doubt that the results have been electric, with Justin Fields setting record after record during loss after loss, but the Bears have to do more to protect their young quarterback's health, John Dietz writes.

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson said he doesn’t regret playing hurt against Detroit, but an oblique injury definitely had an impact on his game. Johnson should be healthy this week against Atlanta.

After a historic span running the football, Bears quarterback Justin Fields said he is making more of an effort to save his legs during the practice week. Plus notes on the latest injury updates and new defensive end Taco Charlton.

Bears GM Ryan Poles was certainly active at the trade deadline. Sean Hammond and Kyle Nabors discuss the Roquan Smith and Chase Claypool trades and get you ready for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.
