Gets competition via draft
Herbert is expected to compete with D'Onta Foreman and 2023 fourth-round draft choice Roschon Johnson for backfield duties, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Going into the preseason, Foreman may have the edge for leading the Bears on early downs due to his size and past NFL success. Herbert had been looking like the clear No. 2 until the team drafted Johnson. Scout John Syty spoke glowingly about Johnson's leadership, intangibles and value on special teams. Although Herbert still should be the favorite to start the season as the backup running back, Johnson may have an opportunity to push Herbert for snaps.

Competition arrives
Herbert is likely to be in a running back committee after the Bears signed D'Onta Foreman in free agency Thursday,
Analysis: Before Foreman was signed, Travis Homer and Trestan Ebner were the only other running backs on the Bears' roster. Last year, Herbert rushed for 5.7 yards per carry, but he averaged 10 rushing attempts per game while David Montgomery averaged 12.5 carries. It's unclear whether Herbert or Foreman will be the lead back, but with Foreman weighing 235 pounds, he would seem the more likely candidate for early down and goal-line work. However, nothing is certain at this point except Herbert now has…read more

Strong rushing totals in 2022
Herbert rushed 10 times for 50 yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18 , and he ended the season with 129 carries for 731 yards and four touchdowns along with nine receptions, 57 yards and another score over 13 games played.
Analysis: Herbert was beginning to see his role in the offense increase beginning in Week 7 before he suffered a hip injury that caused him to miss four games beginning in Week 10. Upon his return, he was back to seeing a smaller number of touches that reflected his early-season usage. After rushing for 4.2 yards per carry in 2021, he was over a full yard per carry better this year, and he often looked to be a superior runner over lead back David Montgomery. With Montgomery set to hit free agency,…read more

Limited role in loss
Herbert rushed five times for 31 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: In a game during which Chicago ran just 43 offensive plays, the team had just 11 rushing attempts to split between Herbert and David Montgomery. In the Week 18 finale against the Vikings, Herbert will likely remain in a backup role to Montgomery, which will result in an uncertain workload.

Inefficient on ground
Herbert rushed six times for seven yards in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert also caught two of three targets, but his receptions lost four yards. Coming back after missing the past four games, he had 10 fewer carries than David Montgomery. Although Herbert has a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Lions, he'll need to see increased usage in order to be a solid fantasy option.

Comes off IR
Chicago reinstated Herbert (hip) from injured reserve Friday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: After missing the minimum four games while on IR, Herbert was cleared to resume practicing Tuesday and checked out fine during the Bears' three sessions this week, prompting head coach Matt Eberflus to sign off on the running back's return to the 53-man roster ahead of Saturday's game versus Buffalo. While Herbert was sidelined, Darrynton Evans and Trestan Ebner handled limited roles behind top running back David Montgomery, but expect Herbert to push for a larger share of backfield snaps and…read more

Will be activated for Week 16
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Herbert (hip) will be officially reinstated from injured reserve Friday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Once the transaction is made official, Herbert will be back on the Bears' 53-man roster and thus eligible to make his return to action Saturday against the Bills after spending the minimum of four games on IR due to the hip issue. Herbert was cleared to resume practicing with the Bears on Tuesday and has apparently responded well to his on-field work, so expect him to step back in as the top complementary option to David Montgomery, who will likely see his opportunities take a hit with Herbert…read more

The Bears designated Herbert (hip) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Coach Matt Eberflus told Larry Mayer of the team's official site Monday that Herbert was "cleared, ready to go... He looks great."

Expected back in Week 16
Herbert (hip) is expected to return to practice this week and is on track to be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's game against the Bills, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: "He is cleared, ready to go," coach Matt Eberflus said Monday of the running back, who last suited up for game action Nov. 13. "Like we said last week, he's got all his jumps, his speed. He's been cutting, he's been moving. He looks great. We're excited about his return." Prior to injuring his hip, Herbert logged 108 carries for 643 yards and four TDs, while adding six catches for 62 yards and a receiving score in 10 games. In his looming return to action, the 2021 sixth-rounder is set to…read more

Could be back Week 16
Herbert (hip) is expected to return to practice prior to Chicago's Week 16 game against the Bills, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Herbert will need to be designated for return from injured reserve, at which point he'll be able to practice. If he looks healthy in drills, Herbert could then retake the field versus Buffalo. Prior to getting hurt, Herbert had been working in a backfield committee with David Montgomery.

Could return this season
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Herbert (hip) is dealing with a season-ending injury, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: The Bears placed Herbert on injured reserve Tuesday after the running back was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Lions after he suffered the injury in question on his final kickoff return of the day. The move to IR makes Herbert ineligible to play until Week 16, but Eberflus is apparently hopeful that the running back can make it back to action at some point during the final three weeks of the season. While Herbert is out of commission, top back David Montgomery stands to see increased…read more

Goes on IR
The Bears placed Herbert (hip) on injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Herbert will be sidelined for at least four games with an injury he sustained during his final kickoff return in the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Lions. Despite playing second fiddle to David Montgomery this season, Herbert has been one of the NFL's most productive backup running backs, as he compiled 643 yards and four touchdowns on 108 carries to go with six receptions for 62 yards and another score through his first 10 games. With Herbert sidelined until at least Week 16, Montgomery should…read more

Suffers hip injury in Week 10
Herbert sustained a hip injury during Sunday's 31-30 loss the Lions.
Analysis: Prior to being ruled out late in the fourth quarter, Herbert notched 10 carries for 57 yards and two kick returns for 67 yards. His production on the ground outpaced backfield mate David Montgomery (nine rushes for 37 yards), but both RBs were well behind quarterback Justin Fields' 13 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Now with a health concern in tow, Herbert will be a player to monitor as the Bears prepare for next Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Lowest output in four weeks
Herbert rushed seven times for 23 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: After posting at least 74 scrimmage yards in three straight contests, Herbert had little room to run against a Miami defense that's held opposing running backs to 70 yards per game. With his rushing attempts fluctuating between four and 20 in any given week, Herbert's usage is difficult to predict. However, his typical weekly production since Week 3 makes him a high-floor fantasy option a majority of the time.

Leads backfield
Herbert carried the ball 16 times for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-29 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Herbert didn't earn a carry until early in the second quarter, though he ended up with one more rushing attempt than David Montgomery. Herbert was also far more efficient with his opportunity, highlighted by a 36-yard gain and 12-yard touchdown run. He has seemingly forced the Bears into a backfield-by-committee approach, and his continued ability to hit for big plays should help him see continued work moving forward.

Narrowing gap to Montgomery
Herbert rushed the ball 12 times for 62 yards in Monday's 33-14 win over the Patriots. He added one reception for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: He earned only two touches fewer than David Montgomery, with both looking effective in Chicago's win. Herbert had two rushes that went for more than 10 yards, though his performance was highlighted by a 25-yard touchdown reception late in the first half. He remains the No. 2 option in the Bears backfield, though it appears the team may be willing to reward Herbert with a bigger workload.

Splash play in TNF loss
Herbert rushed seven times for 75 yards and did not draw a target during the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.
Analysis: A significant chunk of Herbert's production came on a 64-yard run in the Bears' first offensive play of the second quarter, one in which he got the ball down to the Commanders' six-yard line. However, Chicago would walk away empty-handed from that drive when Herbert was stopped twice for no gain inside the five-yard line, including on fourth down a yard shy of the end zone. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old now has three rushing tallies of at least 75 yards in the last four games, yet he seems…read more

Reduced role in Montgomery's return
Herbert rushed four times for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-22 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Herbert took a back seat as usual starting tailback David Montgomery returned to the lineup. Not only did Montgomery get three times as many carries as Herbert while scoring on the ground, but he also led the Bears with four catches for 62 yards. Despite his recent production with Montgomery slowed, Herbert's stock takes a significant hit with the veteran back in action.

Likely back to No. 2 role Sunday
Herbert is welcoming David Montgomery (ankle) back to the lineup for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Herbert took over for Montgomery when the latter hurt his ankle and knee in the first half of a Week 3 matchup with the Texans, combining for 42 touches for 270 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs the past two contests. With Montgomery available Sunday, though, Herbert likely will take a back seat in the Bears backfield, like he did Weeks 1 and 2, when he has limited to 15 touches for 84 total yards and a score on the ground.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in start
Herbert rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: After averaging 7.3 yards per carry through three games, Herbert failed to find as much room as the focal point of Chicago's run-first offense with David Montgomery (ankle/knee) sidelined. Even if Montgomery returns in Week 5 against the Vikings, Herbert should maintain a prominent role in Chicago's run-heavy offense as he looks to top 100 scrimmage yards for a third consecutive week.

Set to lead backfield
Herbert's teammate David Montgomery (ankle/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against the Giants.
Analysis: Herbert rumbled for 157 rushing yards and two TDs last week with Montgomery leaving early against the Texans, playing 60 percent of snaps on offense to Trestan Ebner's 24 percent. Herbert also did well last season over a four-game stretch when Montgomery was injured, averaging 19.5 carries for 86 yards and 0.25 TDs and 2.3 catches for 11.0 yards on 2.5 targets. That type of workload isn't out of the question Sunday, as the Bears have been the most run-heavy team in the NFL by nearly any metric,…read more

Carries offense after Monty injury
Herbert rushed 20 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans. He also caught both of his targets for 12 yards.
Analysis: Herbert made an immediate impact after David Montgomery exited with a knee/ankle injury in the first quarter, racking up 30 yards on his next three attempts, including an 11-yard touchdown to cap the drive on which Montgomery was injured. The second-year running back continued to excel after halftime, ripping off a 52-yard run in the third quarter before powering in a one-yard touchdown four plays later. Herbert should be a priority waiver pickup where available ahead of a Week 4 road matchup…read more

Five touches in Week 2
Herbert rushed four times for 38 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Herbert looked spry in limited action, but David Montgomery reestablished himself as Chicago's leading man in the backfield with 136 scrimmage yards following a shaky opener. Standalone fantasy value will be hard to come by for Herbert barring a Montgomery injury, and Herbert's likely to remain limited to change-of-pace duties in Week 3 against Houston.

Scores in opener
Herbert rushed nine times for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-10 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert also lost two yards on his only reception. The good news is that unlike last year, when he never had more than five carries in a game in which David Montgomery was healthy, he had more than half of Montgomery's carry total in Week 1. If Herbert maintains that level of usage, he'll be in consideration as a top-40 running back each week.

Plays in preseason finale
Herbert (undisclosed) ran for 14 yards on four carries in Chicago's preseason game against Cleveland on Saturday.

Analysis: Though it's unclear what caused the running back's departure from Saturday's session, Herbert's quick return to the field indicates that he was dealing with a minor issue. It remains to be seen if Herbert will play in the Bears' preseason finale next weekend, but as Week 1 approaches, the 2021 sixth-rounder continues to profile as David Montgomery's top backup/complementary option.

Exits Saturday's practice on cart
Herbert left Saturday's practice on a cart, but head coach Matt Eberflus did not provide an update on his status, 670 am The Score in Chicago reports.
Analysis: It's hard from this report to tell if this is a serious injury, so watch his status over the next day or two. While David Montgomery remains the favorite for most of the regular-season playing time in Chicago's backfield, Herbert's preseason usage suggests he has solidified himself as Chicago's No. 2 running back and could even split some of the workload.

Clear No. 2 RB to open camp
Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today views Herbert as the only running back on the Bears after David Montgomery to be a lock to make the team's regular-season roster.
Analysis: Herbert was excellent when called upon to start for three weeks when Montgomery was injured last year. In those games, Herbert averaged over 100 yards from scrimmage. However, once Montgomery returned, Herbert averaged three touches over the last eight games. Unless he can take work away from Montgomery, Herbert's fantasy potential will only be realized if Montgomery misses time. Also currently in the team's backfield mix behind Montgomery and Herbert as training camp approaches are Darrynton…read more

Four carries in season finale
Herbert rushed four times for 11 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 103 carries for 433 yards and two touchdowns along with 14 receptions for 96 yards.
Analysis: The highlight of Herbert's season was when he took over lead-back duties for David Montgomery over a four-week span and averaged more than 20 touches and 97 yards, showing that he can be a strong option if needed in the future. As long as Montgomery remains ahead of him on the depth chart, he'll be selected in fantasy drafts as a valuable backup with upside if he's needed to start games. He'll enter the second year of his four-year rookie deal, and his solid performance when called upon in 2021…read more

Herbert rushed twice for 21 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: With David Montgomery carrying the ball 21 times while being targeted nine times, Herbert was granted a few opportunities to give Montgomery a rest. Fortunately, on one of his chances, he had an explosive 20-yard touchdown run. However, it's unlikely he sees an elevated role in Week 17 against the Giants unless the game becomes one-sided.

Returns to full practice
Herbert (illness) returned to full practice participation Friday.
Analysis: Herbert was unable to practice Thursday due to an illness, but his return to full capacity Friday suggests that he should be ready to suit up Monday against Minnesota. His role is a different question, as he has not topped four rushing attempts in any of his last five games. With David Montgomery (illness) also returning to a full practice Friday, Herbert will likely be limited to an insignificant role once again.

Barely used in offense
Herbert rushed once for three yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Damien Williams returning from a calf injury, Herbert served as the third-string running back, though he was used as the Bears' primary kick returner. Aside from leagues that include return yardage, Herbert won't likely see enough usage to be a lineup option in the fantasy playoffs unless David Montgomery is forced to miss time.

Herbert rushed four times for nine yards in the Bears' 16-14 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: After barely seeing the field in each of the last two games since David Montgomery returned from a knee injury, Herbert was sprinkled in a bit more liberally this week. However, he was still out-touched by Montgomery 20 to four, and unless Herbert's role significantly increases, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

Herbert rushed four times for 13 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Herbert saw veteran David Montgomery return from a four-game absence to lead Chicago's backfield with 15 touches for 80 yards. Although the rookie got three carries during the first half, he was hardly involved during the second, taking a back seat to Montgomery as the Bears staged a comeback attempt.

Likely headed back to No. 2 role
Herbert is expected to shift into a complementary role Monday against the Steelers with the Bears set to reinstate lead back David Montgomery (knee) from injured reserve prior to the contest, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: When he spoke to the media earlier Monday, head coach Matt Nagy didn't go into detail regarding what Montgomery's workload might look like in his first game back after a one-month absence, but the 24-year-old appears likely to pace the Chicago backfield in snaps and touches against the Steelers following a good week of practice.

Herbert rushed 23 times for 72 yards and caught two passes for minus-4 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert started out strong, but the 49ers started to load the box, which bottled him up the rest of the way. He's now handled at least 21 touches in each of his last three games, and he'll remain a strong fantasy option until David Montgomery (knee) returns. At that juncture, it will be interesting to see what Herbert's role evolves into.

Hits century mark on ground
Herbert rushed 18 times for 100 yards and caught five passes for 33 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Facing a Bucs defense that boasts one of the best run defenses in the league, Herbert was the lone bright spot for the Bears in this game. Gaining most of his yardage in the first half, he had more yardage on the ground than the team had through the air at intermission. Even though Damien Williams was active, Herbert was the clear lead back, and there's a great chance he'll remain in that role until David Montgomery (knee) returns to the lineup.

May share workload Week 7
Herbert could see his workload decrease after Damien Williams (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The Bears haven't officially stated who will take over as the starter given Saturday's development, but it wouldn't be surprising to see both Williams and Herbert revert back to the Week 5 workload split, when the duo combined for a near even share of 34 carries. Herbert's excellence against the Packers last week could help him earn the larger share of the aforementioned split, especially if Williams has to work back into game shape after testing positive for COVID-19, but looming over the…read more

Comes up big in first start
Herbert rushed 19 times for 97 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 15 yards in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert had consistent success running the ball against a Packers defense that's struggled against the run this season, and if the Bears didn't trail for much of this contest, he may have had even better production. Even if Damien Williams (illness) returns next week, Herbert should continue to see significant work in a shared backfield until David Montgomery (knee) returns, so he should retain enough value to be a consideration for fantasy lineups for the next few weeks.

Likely No. 1 back for Week 6
Herbert is the leading candidate to serve as Chicago's lead back Sunday against the Packers after the Bears placed Damien Williams (foot/knee) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: The Bears haven't indicated whether Williams tested positive for the virus, but he'll likely face an uphill battle to clear all of the NFL's health and safety protocols with less than 72 hours to go before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. After David Montgomery (knee) was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Week 5 win over the Raiders, Williams drew the start, but Herbert saw a surprising level of involvement in the No. 2 role. Herbert played 52 percent of the offensive snaps in the win,…read more

Leads team in rushing
Herbert rushed 18 times for 75 yards in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Damien Williams drew the start, Herbert was involved in the rushing attack early, and as the Bears played with a lead in the second half, he dominated touches as the team closed out the contest. He also had carries in the red zone but failed to cash in, and Damien Williams punched in the only rushing score the team had. Given the amount of work Herbert was given, he may be useful in fantasy lineups while David Montgomery (knee) misses time.

Opportunity may await
Herbert could be in line to start if David Montgomery (knee) and Damien Williams (thigh) are unable to suit up,
Analysis: At this time, Montgomery seems like a long shot to play, and Williams has a thigh bruise, which seems unlikely to keep him out, but more clarity will emerge as the Bears conduct this week's practices. Herbert was selected in the sixth round of this year's draft and was impressive when used with the second-string offense in the preseason, though it's difficult to gauge his potential production should he be thrust into the starting lineup.

Receives three carries
Herbert rushed three times for seven yards in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: With David Montgomery leaving the game with a knee injury, Herbert was given rushing attempts late in the fourth quarter of a double-digit Chicago victory. Should Montgomery miss time, Herbert would likely be Damien Williams' backup, which could lead to him seeing weekly touches.

Makes final roster
Herbert is part of Chicago's three-player backfield to start the regular season according to the Bears' official website.
Analysis: After an impressive preseason, Herbert enters the season as the No. 3 running back behind David Montgomery and Damien Williams while the team will be without Tarik Cohen (knee) for at least the first six weeks of the season due to his placement on the PUP list. Although Herbert is on the roster, he may not see many touches unless one of the other backs ahead of him misses time.

Finds end zone
Herbert rushed three times for 15 yards and a touchdown while adding a three-yard reception in the Bears' 41-15 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday.
Analysis: Herbert played with the second-team offense in the second half, and he took advantage of the mobility of Justin Fields, as the quarterback had the defense leaning in the wrong direction when Herbert converted a 13-yard touchdown run. While Tarik Cohen (knee) continues to miss time, Herbert seems to be tightening his grip on the No. 3 role in the Chicago backfield.

Shines in NFL debut
Herbert is having a strong camp, and he's currently third on the Bears' depth chart, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Of course, Tarik Cohen is sidelined as he recovers from his knee injury, so Herbert could quickly fall to fourth on the depth chart, but there's no guarantee that Cohen makes it back in the near future. Hence, Herbert could retain his current spot. In 23 offensive snaps in the preseason opener, Herbert had six carries for 38 yards and three receptions for another 11 yards, and he was successful in the two-minute drill by catching a pair of passes and getting out of bounds. Although he'll need…read more

Sharp in pro debut
Herbert had six carries for 38 yards and three catches for 11 yards in Saturday's 20-13 preseason win over Miami.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick was the third running back through the rotation, behind only David Montgomery (who left after one snap) and Damien Williams. Herbert took advantage, and he was the primary running back during a mid-game stretch where rookie QB Justin Fields led the Bears to 17 points in a span of three drives. The roster numbers for Herbert are still tough if Tarik Cohen (knee) ever makes it back from the PUP list, but so far the rookie is doing his part to convince the team to keep…read more
