Khalil Herbert Replacements: 4 NFL Free Agents To Sign At RB + Some Internal Candidates

Khalil Herbert Replacements come your way on today’s episode of Chicago Bears Now as the Bears’ RB was placed on IR yesterday with a hip injury. Herbert is 2nd on the team in rushing, behind QB Justin Fields, with 643 yards and 4 touchdowns. Now the Bears will lean heavily on David Montgomery who’s only averaging 3.8 yards per carry and has 434 yards per carry this year. Bears Now host Harrison Graham takes a look at some NFL Free Agents + some internal candidates to replace RB Khalil Herbert as he’s set to miss at least the next 4 games.

Chicago Bears rumors are heating up following the Khalil Herbert injury news. Some notable NFL free agent running backs include Phillip Lindsay, Marlon Mack, Devonta Freeman and Devontae Booker. All 4 have had success in the NFL, but are past their primes. Running backs currently on the Bears roster include David Montgomery who will carry the load and rookie Trestan Ebner. Ebner has only 46 yards in limited action this week, but figures to play more moving forward. A potential SHOCKING name to help replace Herbert is rookie WR Velus Jones Jr. Jones has been a healthy scratch as of late as he’s had drop and fumbling issues early on in his career. He’s built like a running back and runs like one as well. Could Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy try the rookie 3rd round pick at RB?
