Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy says 20 carries a game 'doable' for David Montgomery this season

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Matt Nagy is determined to make running back David Montgomery a centerpiece of the Chicago Bears' offense.

The Bears head coach reiterated his belief on Tuesday that Montgomery -- entering his third NFL season -- is capable of carrying the ball 20 times per game in Nagy's offense during the upcoming season.

"I think it's very doable," Nagy said as Bears veterans reported to camp. "And I know when I'm asked that question, you start getting into the analytics and you start talking numbers. And when you look at where David has been the last couple of years, getting him the football is a good thing.
