Running back Leonard Fournette wasn’t in Bears’ plans

Tempting as it might have been, the Bears passed on running back Leonard Fournette.

David Montgomery’s groin injury sparked speculation that the Bears would be interested in Fournette, the fourth overall pick of the 2017 draft, who was waived by the Jaguars. But coach Matt Nagy said the Bears were not interested.

“I saw that he was out there,” Nagy said. “Again, we feel very comfortable with where we’re at. I understand [the question]. We explore everything. Ryan [general manager Ryan Pace] and those guys [in personnel] do a great job.
