Bears running back Trestan Ebner (25) rushed for 54 yards on 24 carries as a rookie last season.

With D’Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert battling for the lion’s share of carries in the Bears’ backfield and the Bears smitten with fourth-round rookie Roschon Johnson, second-year running back Trestan Ebner entered training camp on the roster bubble.

But Ebner can’t be counted out yet. The 2022 sixth-round draft pick out of Baylor showed off his 4.43 speed in the 40 with a 70-yard touchdown that was as legit as any long run can be in practices where ball carriers are not tackled.
