Matt Nagy says Bears' Jordan Howard a three-down back

The Bears aren't just hanging onto RB Jordan Howard after he was the subject of offseason trade rumors — they intend to feature him. On all three downs. And in different ways.

Some outlets (not this one) surmised after Matt Nagy's hiring that Howard, the franchise's only player to log back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons to begin his career, might not be a fit in the new offense because he's struggled as a pass catcher.
