When Bears veterans begin training camp activities later this week, Tarik Cohen will not be one of them. As he continues to recover from an ACL tear suffered last September, the 25-year-old tailback will begin camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, reports ESPN’s Field Yates.
The news does not come as a surprise. In the 10 months since his knee injury, Cohen has progressed well in his rehabilitation by all accounts — most recently, a direct allusion to Dragon Ball Z from the fifth-year back himself. Since Cohen can be activated off the PUP list at any time, this move is more of a precaution on the Bears’ part, not a reflection of a setback on any level.
