Chicago Bears 2022 Position Battles: How will the running back room shape up?
The running back room for the Chicago Bears seems to be a strength of the team for the 2022 season. They return two capable players, a play making rookie was added to the mix, a couple free agents were brought in to compete, and an honest to goodness professional fullback was signed for the first time since 2018 when Michael Burton played for the NFC North Champion Bears.
Roster Locks
David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert return to provide one of the better 1-2 punches in the NFL, and the Bears have talked up their willingness to commit to the run game in 2022. Montgomery is coming off a down year due to injury, but in 13 games he had 842 yards rushing and he caught 42 balls for 301 yards.
