Former Chicago Bears starter now faces brutal reality after sudden release

The majority of tough roster news typically happens prior to the start of the season, but one former Chicago Bears starter just found out he was being released after the conclusion of Week 1.

Running back Khalil Herbert was informed he was being released from the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad today. In his place, the Colts signed another veteran running back to their practice squad: Ameer Abdullah.

The past two years must have been quite the whirlwind for the 2021 sixth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, but today's news was the ultimate gut punch.
