Bears 2021 training camp roster preview: Running backs

Chicago Bears training camp is less than a month away, which means it’s time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest.

We already covered quarterback (here), so now it’s time to turn our attention to who Andy Dalton or Justin Fields will be handing the ball to out of the backfield.

There isn’t as much intrigue with the running backs as there is at quarterback, however, as there’s little doubt third-year back David Montgomery will resume his role as the team’s featured offensive player.

But what about the pecking order behind him? Which running back will rise to RB2 status? And will Montgomery remain in the field on third down now that Tarik Cohen is returning from an ACL injury suffered last season?

Let’s take a look at the running backs heading into training camp.
