A recent family tragedy has given Tarik Cohen a new perspective and inspiration for the upcoming Bears season.
When Cohen reports to training camp next week, the Bears running back said he’ll be mentally and physically ready. But he’ll also arrive with a heavy heart.
In early June, Cohen’s younger half-brother, Dante Norman, was shot in Raleigh, North Carolina. As a result, he’s paralyzed from the waist down.
The news was heartbreaking for Cohen. It stopped him right in his tracks.
“I feel like I was injured also,” Cohen said Monday at his youth football ProCamp at Elk Grove High School.
