Joining Indy
Herbert agreed to a one-year contract with the Colts on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Indianapolis is a favorable landing spot for Herbert, who fell out of favor in Chicago last season and then barely received playing time in Cincinnati until Chase Brown missed Week 18 with an ankle injury. Herbert started in 12 of his 48 appearances in three-plus seasons with the Bears, averaging 4.8 yards on 372 carries and 6.5 yards on 45 receptions. He'll turn 27 years old in April and has a nice opportunity ahead, joining an Indianapolis offense that relied on Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson…read more

Solid in spot start Saturday
Herbert rushed 20 times for 69 yards and brought in seven of eight targets for 14 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Herbert got the spot start due to Chase Brown (ankle) being sidelined and shouldered quite the heavy workload after having previously combined for just eight carries since arriving in Cincinnati via trade with the Bears. The veteran running back unsurprisingly found tough sledding on the ground against the Steelers, but he was a steady presence in the passing game and finished third on the team in receptions and targets. If the Bengals are able to make their way into the postseason with help…read more

In line for leading role Saturday
Herbert is in line to be the Bengals' primary running back Saturday in Pittsburgh due to Chase Brown (ankle) being inactive for the contest, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Brown won't suit up one week removed from spraining his right ankle during last Saturday's overtime win against the Broncos. Since joining the Bengals at the trade deadline, Herbert has received spot duty in seven consecutive games prior to this Week 18 matchup, turning eight carries into 45 yards (5.6 YPC) and gathering in his only target for seven yards. Considering Cincinnati's other available RBs on Saturday are Trayveon Williams (no touches in 16 games) and undrafted rookie Kendall Milton…read more

Could be headed for increased role
Herbert rushed the ball four times for 23 yards in Saturday's 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Chase Brown led the Bengals' backfield but suffered a sprained ankle late in the fourth quarter when he slid short of the end zone. That pushed Herbert into a substantial role in overtime, highlighted by a 13-yard rush to kick off Cincinnati's game-clinching drive. Herbert should lead the backfield in Week 18 against Pittsburgh if Brown is unable to suit up.

No touches in win
Herbert failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Herbert was a complete non-factor in Week 16, playing just two offensive snaps against the Browns. Fellow running back Chase Brown continues to handle the vast majority of Cincinnati's backfield workload, with Herbert providing little to no fantasy value outside of his role as an insurance policy behind Brown. The 26-year-old remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Broncos.

Handles one carry in Week 15
Herbert rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Herbert continued to play an extremely small role in the Bengals' offense since being acquired by Cincinnati at the trade deadline. The veteran running back played just three of the Bengals' 69 offensive snaps Sunday, while Chase Brown played all but five snaps in the contest. Since joining the Bengals in Week 10, Herbert has attempted just four rushes and caught one pass. Barring an injury to Brown, the 26-year-old Herbert cannot be trusted to provide relevant fantasy production in such an…read more

Stuck in small role on offense
Herbert played seven of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and carried twice for four yards while adding a seven-yard reception in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Though Herbert saw solid usage during his limited time on the field, he'll likely continue to handle a small role on offense while Chase Brown has emerged as a three-down workhorse out of the backfield. Herbert also brought back two kickoffs for 67 yards in the Week 14 win, but he'll likely cede those duties to Charlie Jones (groin) if the latter player is able to play Sunday at Tennessee.

One carry in loss
Herbert rushed once for 14 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Herbert's one carry Sunday was his first since joining the Bengals at the trade deadline. The 26-year-old running back played just six offensive snaps against the Steelers after playing a total of six offensive snaps across his first two appearances. With such limited usage behind lead back Chase Brown, Herbert remains nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy purposes. As the season progresses, it's possible the fourth-year back could continue to see his snap percentage gradually…read more

Plays four offensive snaps in loss
Herbert failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Herbert was not a part of the Bengals' offensive game plan Sunday, as the veteran running back still has yet to see a single touch on offense for Cincinnati. Herbert did, however, gain 29 yards on his only kick return in the contest. It's possible that the 26-year-old may still be taking time to get acclimated into the Bengals' offense, but it is surprising to see such limited playing time for a player that the Bengals traded for ahead of the trade deadline. Meanwhile, fellow running back Chase…read more

Sees just two snaps in team debut
Herbert didn't record a carry or a target in Thursday's Week 10 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Herbert joined Cincinnati in a trade between the Bengals and Bears on Tuesday, and he was able to suit up just two days later. However, Herbert didn't make the best first impression, as he couldn't grasp the ball on a handoff from QB Joe Burrow in the second quarter. The fumble was questionably charged to Burrow, and Herbert was credited with the recovery after he fell on top of the ball, but that was essentially the extent of Herbert's involvement in the contest (he logged just one other…read more

Active versus Baltimore
Herbert is active for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: Though he just joined the Bengals on Tuesday in a trade with the Bears, Herbert has absorbed enough of his new team's offense to enter the backfield mix in short order. In his new locale, Herbert will help fill the void created by the absence of Zack Moss (neck), who is on IR and could miss the rest of season. In that context, Herbert is in line to step into a complementary role behind Chase Brown that should grow as the season progresses.

On track to play Thursday
Herbert is expected to play Thursday night against the Ravens, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Fowler, Herbert, who joined the Bengals on Tuesday via a trade with the Bears, worked aggressively over the past few days to get up to speed with his new team's offense, paving the way for him to step right into the lineup in Week 10. With Zack Moss (neck) on IR and a candidate to miss the rest of season, Herbert is slated to step into a complementary role in a backfield led by Chase Brown. It remains to be seen how heavy a workload he'll see in his anticipated debut with Cincinnati, but in…read more

Headed to Cincinnati
The Bengals acquired Herbert from the Bears on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A healthy inactive for both of the Bears' last two games, Herbert was the odd man out in a Chicago backfield that also included D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer. With the move to Cincinnati, Herbert will likely step in to provide valuable depth and experience behind Chase Brown. Herbert should settle in as the No. 2 option ahead of Trayveon Williams and Kendall Milton with Zack Moss (neck) expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Inactive Sunday
Herbert is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: With Herbert a healthy scratch Sunday, D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are available to handle the Bears' backfield duties against Arizona. As the NFL trade deadline approaches, it's possible that Herbert could be dealt by Chicago in the coming days.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Washington.
Analysis: Herbert hasn't earned a touch since Week 3, and fellow running back Travis Homer is back in action Sunday, so the former will don street clothes for the first time this season while the latter is available along with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson out of the Bears backfield. Herbert's next chance for game action is next Sunday at Arizona.

Another poor perfromance
Herbert rushed for times for nine yards in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: After largely serving as the Bears' No. 2 running back in Weeks 1 and 2, Herbert was the third-stringer in this contest. On the season, Herbert has eight carries for 17 yards and a touchdown. With minimal usage and low production, Herbert's fantasy value is as low as it's been at any point during his four years in Chicago.

Finds end zone
Herbert rushed two times for three yards and a touchdown along with two catches for four yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert played just nine percent of the snaps, and other than the short touchdown he scored, he was ineffective on limited work. In terms of playing time, Herbert played 20 percent fewer snaps than Travis Homer, as Homer has emerged as the No. 2 running back over the first two games. Unless Herbert sees more playing time, he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Minimal work in season opener
Herbert rushed twice for four yards in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: With Roschon Johnson listed as a healthy scratch, Herbert served in a backfield committee. Herbert joined Travis Homer and wide receiver Velus Jones as teammates who also had two carries each behind starter D'Andre Swift. Based on Week 1 usage, it appears that Herbert may not be in line for significant work unless other running backs on the team miss time.

Takes five carries for 31 yards
Herbert started Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals and took five carries for 31 yards in the first half.
Analysis: D'Andre Swift was held out entirely after playing just two snaps in the preseason opener. It's a signal that the Bears consider Swift important and want to protect him, but Herbert at least has taken advantage of his extended playing time with the first-string offense this preseason, taking 17 carries for 97 yards in three appearances (including the Hall of Fame Game). He hasn't seen any targets, in part because Travis Homer has replaced him for some of the clear passing downs (Roschon Johnson…read more

Gets nine carries Saturday
Herbert rushed nine times for 31 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 33-6 preseason win over the Bills.
Analysis: D'Andre Swift got two of the first three touches among Chicago's running backs and took a screen pass 42 yards before ceding the next eight touches to Herbert while the Bears' starters were in the game. Roschon Johnson didn't play against Buffalo after starting the Hall of Fame Game last week, so it remains unclear where Herbert stands relative to Johnson in a backfield that will likely be led by Swift but have room left over for at least one more meaningful contributor. Herbert will look to…read more

Explosive in HOF Game cameo
Herbert rushed four times for 35 yards in the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday.
Analysis: Herbert was the second Bears running back to log a carry behind Roschon Johnson, who handled all the ground work on Chicago's first drive. Herbert ripped off a 19-yard gain on his third carry and immediately followed it up with a nine-yard scamper on the next play, showcasing some of the talent that helped him to three 100-yard performances a season ago. The team's deep backfield is now helmed by D'Andre Swift, who didn't play Thursday, with Herbert and Johnson currently battling for the No. 2…read more

Could be moved
With D'Andre Swift signed this offseason and Roschon Johnson entering his second season, Herbert is viewed as potential trade bait, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Herbert is entering the final year of his rookie deal that is set to pay him a non-guaranteed $1.055 million salary, and the coaching staff is high on Johnson headed into his second season after he was taken in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last year. Swift inked a three-year, $24 million deal in March. After leading the NFL averaging 5.7 yards per carry in 2022, Herbert battled ankle and back issues last year, missing five games on injured reserve in the middle of the season. Travis Homer…read more

Facing competition from Swift
Herbert is part of a backfield that's set to add D'Andre Swift on a three-year, $24 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Herbert has outperformed his draft slot since the Bears took him in the sixth round in 2021, averaging 4.9 yards on 364 carries. He's typically worked in timeshares and has just 43 receptions in 42 games, and it's not exactly surprising to see the cap-flush Bears brining in a more versatile running back. This isn't the worst outcome for Herbert's value given that the Bears were previously rumored to have interest in Saquon Barkley -- who is joining the Eagles -- but it does leave Herbert with a…read more

Underwhelming in season finale
Herbert rushed 12 times for 28 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert came into Week 18 having posted at least 121 scrimmage yards in each of his last two games. Facing a middling Packers defense, Herbert was unable to help Chicago sustain consistent offense. In 12 games played this season, Herbert rushed for 583 yards and two touchdowns and added 18 receptions for 121 yards and another score. With two years left on his rookie contract, the Bears will need to decide if Herbert can be their lead back or if he's best used as part of a committee.

Suiting up as expected Sunday
Herbert (back/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Reports earlier Sunday indicated Herbert was strongly trending toward active status, and that is now official.

Herbert is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers due to a back injury as well as a personal matter.
Analysis: Herbert was added to the Bears' injury report Thursday after he was a limited participant in practice that day on account of the back issue, but the personal matter might have been the cause of his absence from Friday's practice.

Analysis: Herbert is making a midweek appearance on the Bears' Week 18 injury report after having no limitations whatsoever to kick off the week Wednesday. It's unclear if his availability for Sunday's game at Green Bay is in danger, but how he fares at Friday's session could be telling for his status.

Another big game
Herbert rushed 18 times for 124 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches on three targets for five yards in the Bears' 37-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert took advantage of being the lead back for the Bears with D'Onta Foreman (coach's decision) inactive for the second straight week. In each of those games, Herbert recorded at least 121 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. If Chicago chooses to leave Herbert in the lead role in Week 18 against the Packers, he could be in line for another strong performance to end the season.

Racks up 21 touches in Week 16
Herbert took 20 carries for 112 yards and one touchdown and hauled in one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-16 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: With D'Onta Foreman out due to a personal matter, Herbert and Roschon Johnson were the likely options to handle most of the backfield reps for the Bears in Week 16. The scale ended up tilting Herbert's way, as he dominated Johnson in touches (21-12) and yards from scrimmage (121-53). Prior to Sunday's outburst, Herbert hadn't fared well in four appearances since missing five due to a high-ankle sprain, averaging 2.4 yards on his 31 rushes while tallying five catches (on six targets) for 24…read more

Poor showing in Cleveland
Herbert carried the ball six times for eight yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: The Bears' backfield committee didn't provide much fantasy value in this one, as rookie Roschon Johnson was the only one of the three RBs to deliver any kind of useful numbers with 60 scrimmage yards on nine touches, while D'Onta Foreman's longest carry went for just two yards and he wound up with minus-six rushing yards on his six totes.

Limited to three carries
Herbert rushed the ball three times for eight yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Herbert saw his role slip significantly with the return of D'Onta Foreman (ankle), as he worked in a clear backup role. He's been held to 35 or fewer rushing yards in three consecutive games since returning from injured reserve, and that streak looks unlikely to change in Week 15 against Cleveland.

Eight touches in Week 12 win
Herbert rushed six times for 24 yards and brought in both targets for 14 yards in the Bears' 12-10 win over the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Herbert entered the game atop the running back depth chart with D'Onta Foreman (ankle) sidelined, but rookie backfield mate Roschon Johnson outpaced Herbert by four carries and three receptions. The third-year pro had logged double-digit rush attempts in three straight contests before Monday's downturn, but with Foreman potentially back in action Week 14 against the Lions following the Week 13 bye, Herbert heads into the Bears' pause in play with some newfound uncertainty surrounding his role.

Set for lead role Monday
Herbert is in line to be the Bears' lead running back Monday at Minnesota after the team ruled out D'Onta Foreman (ankle/shin) for the contest Sunday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman didn't have much leeway to be available Week 12 due to Chicago giving him a doubtful tag for Monday's game. Now that Foreman officially won't make the trip to Minnesota, Herbert will have to compete for RB reps with only Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer. On the season, Herbert has averaged 13.2 touches for 66 yards from scrimmage per game while recording one receiving TD in six appearances.

Inefficient on 16 rushes in return
Herbert (ankle/shin) rushed 16 times for 35 yards and caught two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Herbert's first action since Week 5 coincided with quarterback Justin Fields' return from a dislocated thumb that had kept him out since Week 6. D'Onta Foreman (ankle) began the game as the lead back but exited soon after halftime, opening the door for Herbert to handle 18 touches, but Herbert averaged a meager 2.3 yards per touch.

Prior to suffering a high-ankle sprain, though, Herbert was utilized heavily in Weeks 4 and 5, turning 32 touches into 198 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD.

The Bears activated Herbert (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Herbert has been listed as a full participant in five of six practices since being initially designated for return from IR, so this transaction confirms that he's on track for Sunday's road matchup against the Lions. After a five-game absence, it remains to be seen whether Herbert will immediately handle a full assortment of snaps, but it's worth noting that presumed co-starter D'Onta Foreman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable.

May not be activated for Thursday
Herbert (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Panthers, but the Bears aren't expected to activate him from injured reserve ahead of the Week 10 contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After missing the Bears' last four games, Herbert was designated for return from IR on Monday and was listed as a full practice participant on each of the team's three injury reports this week. However, due to the quick turnaround for the Week 10 game following this past Sunday's loss to the Saints, the Bears held mostly walk-through workouts, so Herbert hasn't had a chance to properly gauge the health of his right ankle in a traditional practice setting. With that in mind, the Bears are likely…read more

Listed as questionable
Herbert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Carolina.
Analysis: Herbert seems more likely than not to play, after the Bears listed him as a full practice participant Monday through Wednesday. They'll need to activate him from injured reserve by 4:00 p.m. ET on Thursday if he's going to play, so the news shouldn't come down to a game-time decision. The bigger question is the extent of Herbert's role, as D'Onta Foreman found some success as a rusher over the past month, while Darrynton Evans and Roschon Johnson handled more of the backfield snaps on passing…read more

Analysis: Herbert has yet to be activated from injured reserve but is eligible to return for Thursday night's game against the Panthers.

Herbert (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Herbert originally suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Week 5 at Washington, and after missing the last five games while on injured reserve, he was designated to return by the Bears on Monday. The team held only a walkthrough to begin Week 10 prep and may not have an actual practice on the docket as it prepares for Thursday's game against the Panthers, but Herbert's ability to handle every rep Monday generally is a good sign for his chances of playing this week.

Cleared to practice
The Bears designated Herbert (ankle) for return from injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: The transaction opens a 21-day window in which the Bears can evaluate Herbert in practice. Given that the Bears are likely to hold walk-through sessions or light practices this week leading up to Thursday's game against the Panthers, Herbert may face an uphill battle to be activated from IR in advance of that contest.

Heads to IR
The Bears placed Herbert (ankle) on injured reserve Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Herbert will be out for at least four games and won't be eligible to play until a Thursday matchup Nov. 9 with the Panthers in Week 10. The Bears will also be without Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) in Week 6, leaving D'Onta Foreman and Darrynton Evans as the available running backs for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Given that he's reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, Herbert may not be a safe bet to return from IR when first eligible Week 10.

Could land on IR
Herbert (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota and may be placed on injured reserve this weekend, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: The Bears haven't made a decision on Herbert's status beyond this week, but it sounds like a trip to injured reserve could be the corresponding move when CB Kyler Gordon (hand) is activated Saturday. Placement on IR would rule Herbert out for the next four games -- something that might happen even if he stays on the active roster given that he's dealing with a high ankle sprain. Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) also are out Week 6, leaving D'Onta Foreman and Darrynton…read more

Ruled out for Week 6
Herbert (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Herbert was never likely to play after suffering a high-ankle sprain in last Thursday's win over the Commanders. Chicago also lost Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) to injuries in that game, and both will join Herbert on the inactive list Week 6, leaving D'Onta Foreman as Chicago's presumed lead back and Darrynton Evans as a reserve option. It won't be surprising if the Bears sign another RB before Sunday.

High ankle sprain, per report
Herbert is reportedly dealing with high ankle sprain after exiting Thursday's 40-20 win over the Commanders, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Anderson's report supports the notion put forth by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, who relays that Herbert could miss multiple weeks. Further information regarding Herbert's status for next Sunday's game against the Vikings should come forth when the Bears commence Week 6 practices, but with Roschon Johnson dealing with a concussion and Travis Homer having sustained a hamstring injury Week 5, the Bears backfield is depleted at the moment.

Herbert, who suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's 40-20 win over the Commanders, is expected to miss multiple weeks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Herbert suggested after Thursday's injury that he expected to be "fine" after suffering the injury, but Pelissero's follow-up report suggests that the running back is in line to miss time.

Downplays ankle injury
Herbert (ankle) said after Thursday's 40-20 win over Washington that he expects to be fine moving forward, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Herbert's early exit Thursday put a damper on an otherwise strong performance, as he racked up 76 yards on only 10 rushes. He'll have a few extra days to heal before the Bears' next game against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 15. Despite Herbert's optimism, his practice participation will bear monitoring leading into the Week 6 NFC North clash.

Dealing with ankle issue
Herbert is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Bears after suffering a right ankle injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Herbert originally suffered the injury in the third quarter, when his leg got caught in the turf as he was being tackled. He was able to return to the game after having his ankle wrapped, but that only lasted briefly before he exited again. If Herbert is done for the night, Chicago will likely have to rely on Khari Blasingame to work out of the backfield with Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) also dealing with injuries.

Season-high rushing total in loss
Herbert rushed 18 times for 103 yards and brought in four of five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert took advantage of a highly exploitable matchup against a short-handed Broncos defense while logging season highs in carries and receiving yards. The third-year back was encouragingly the clear leader in rushes for the Bears after splitting work fairly closely with rookie Roschon Johnson over the first three games, outpacing his teammate by 13 totes Sunday.

Continues splitting backfield work
Herbert rushed seven times for 31 yards and caught both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Herbert continued splitting backfield duties with Roschon Johnson (8-38-0), receiving nine combined touches to the latter's 10. Neither back stood out on the stat sheet, and it appears that Chicago will continue its backfield time-share for the foreseeable future. The reduced workload limits Herbert's fantasy potential ahead of next Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Splits work with Johnson in loss
Herbert rushed seven times for 35 yards and secured one of three targets for a 23-yard reception in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert had a new No. 2 running back mate in Roschon Johnson after D'Onta Foreman was made a healthy inactive, and the two players had a relatively close split in workload. Johnson saw four carries and recorded a pair of receptions in his own right, although Herbert was the more productive of the two overall with a 58-42 advantage in total yards. Given he was solid with his opportunities Sunday, Herbert should have a chance to continue leading the backfield, at least by a narrow margin, in a…read more

Modest Week 1 showing
Herbert rushed nine times for 27 yards and caught three of five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Herbert led Chicago's offense in touches, but his total was just one higher than backup Roschon Johnson, who tallied 55 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut. With quarterback Justin Fields also rushing nine times and D'Onta Foreman garnering five totes, Herbert has competition for carries despite his top tailback status. In Week 2, he'll face a Buccaneers defense that finished 15th against the run last season.

Stuffed by Bills
Herbert took two carries for a loss of one yard and caught one of two targets for three yards in Saturday's preseason finale against Buffalo.
Analysis: Herbert got the start and the first carry, but D'Onta Foreman also worked with the first-string offense prior to exiting for the injury tent. Foreman's injury didn't appear too serious, and he'll likely be available Week 1 against Green Bay. Herbert is the favorite to start that game and lead a backfield committee.

Scores as lead Chicago runner
Herbert ran for 15 yards on four carries and caught one pass for a 56-yard touchdown on one target in Chicago's preseason game against Tennessee on Saturday.
Analysis: It's no surprise that Herbert functioned as the lead running back for Chicago, but the 56-yard touchdown reception was an encouraging sight for a player who generally has not produced as a pass catcher, be it at the NFL or collegiate level. As much as Herbert's history implies he'll never be a volume pass catcher, his ability to weave through traffic might give the Bears reason to dial up screens for Herbert, at least occasionally. In an improved Bears offense that figures to run plenty,…read more

Sharing first-team reps
Herbert and D'Onta Foreman split most of the first-team reps Wednesday during the first practice of training camp, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The even breakdown of reps is no major surprise, though it's possible one of the two backs pulls ahead of the other before Week 1, and/or another running back joins the fray. In addition to signing Foreman this offseason, the Bears added fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson and special teamer/passing-down specialist Travis Homer. In other words, there's no lack of competition for Hebert, who averaged 5.7 yards on 129 carries last season but caught only nine passes in 13 games.

Gets competition via draft
Herbert is expected to compete with D'Onta Foreman and 2023 fourth-round draft choice Roschon Johnson for backfield duties, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Going into the preseason, Foreman may have the edge for leading the Bears on early downs due to his size and past NFL success. Herbert had been looking like the clear No. 2 until the team drafted Johnson. Scout John Syty spoke glowingly about Johnson's leadership, intangibles and value on special teams. Although Herbert still should be the favorite to start the season as the backup running back, Johnson may have an opportunity to push Herbert for snaps.

Last year, Herbert rushed for 5.7 yards per carry, but he averaged 10 rushing attempts per game while David Montgomery averaged 12.5 carries.

Strong rushing totals in 2022
Herbert rushed 10 times for 50 yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18 , and he ended the season with 129 carries for 731 yards and four touchdowns along with nine receptions, 57 yards and another score over 13 games played.
Analysis: Herbert was beginning to see his role in the offense increase beginning in Week 7 before he suffered a hip injury that caused him to miss four games beginning in Week 10. Upon his return, he was back to seeing a smaller number of touches that reflected his early-season usage. After rushing for 4.2 yards per carry in 2021, he was over a full yard per carry better this year, and he often looked to be a superior runner over lead back David Montgomery.

Herbert rushed five times for 31 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: In a game during which Chicago ran just 43 offensive plays, the team had just 11 rushing attempts to split between Herbert and David Montgomery.

Analysis: Prior to being ruled out late in the fourth quarter, Herbert notched 10 carries for 57 yards and two kick returns for 67 yards. His production on the ground outpaced backfield mate David Montgomery (nine rushes for 37 yards), but both RBs were well behind quarterback Justin Fields' 13 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns.

Lowest output in four weeks
Herbert rushed seven times for 23 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: After posting at least 74 scrimmage yards in three straight contests, Herbert had little room to run against a Miami defense that's held opposing running backs to 70 yards per game. With his rushing attempts fluctuating between four and 20 in any given week, Herbert's usage is difficult to predict. However, his typical weekly production since Week 3 makes him a high-floor fantasy option a majority of the time.

Herbert carried the ball 16 times for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-29 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Herbert didn't earn a carry until early in the second quarter, though he ended up with one more rushing attempt than David Montgomery. Herbert was also far more efficient with his opportunity, highlighted by a 36-yard gain and 12-yard touchdown run. He has seemingly forced the Bears into a backfield-by-committee approach, and his continued ability to hit for big plays should help him see continued work moving forward.

Herbert had two rushes that went for more than 10 yards, though his performance was highlighted by a 25-yard touchdown reception late in the first half.

Herbert rushed 19 times for 77 yards and caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: After averaging 7.3 yards per carry through three games, Herbert failed to find as much room as the focal point of Chicago's run-first offense with David Montgomery (ankle/knee) sidelined. Even if Montgomery returns in Week 5 against the Vikings, Herbert should maintain a prominent role in Chicago's run-heavy offense as he looks to top 100 scrimmage yards for a third consecutive week.

Analysis: Herbert's undisclosed injury was evidently of minimal concern, and his four carries for 14 yards give reason to think he'll be ready to go as the top backup to David Montgomery when the Bears open their regular season schedule.

Looking better in practice
Herbert (undisclosed) practiced Thursday and appeared to increase his activity level, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Herbert has been in and out of practice since exiting early Saturday. This is the latest sign it's nothing serious, and it seems starting RB David Montgomery (undisclosed) also has made progress with his injury, while potential No. 3 back Trestan Ebner hasn't practiced since hurting his ankle in the second preseason game last Thursday against Seattle. Herbert figures to enter the year second on the depth chart, but the job could entail more work under a new coaching staff, especially after he…read more

Not practicing
Herbert (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, Mark Grote of WSCR Radio reports.
Analysis: Herbert left Sunday's practice early and was a limited participant Monday. He started the Bears' first two preseason games, but he's now uncertain to play in the finale Saturday in Cleveland, while David Montgomery (undisclosed) reportedly has a chance to make it back.

Limited Sunday
Herbert (undisclosed) didn't participate in team drills during Sunday's practice, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With Alyssa Barbieri of the USA Today relaying that Herbert was carted off during Saturday's practice with an unspecified injury, his quick return to the field is encouraging. As long as Herbert can practice fully in the coming days, the running back will be a candidate to log snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Browns.

Back at practice
Herbert, who left practice early Saturday with an unspecified issue, participated in Sunday's session, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though it's unclear what caused the running back's departure from Saturday's session, Herbert's quick return to the field indicates that he was dealing with a minor issue. It remains to be seen if Herbert will play in the Bears' preseason finale next weekend, but as Week 1 approaches, the 2021 sixth-rounder continues to profile as David Montgomery's top backup/complementary option.

Exits Saturday's practice on cart
Herbert left Saturday's practice on a cart, but head coach Matt Eberflus did not provide an update on his status, 670 am The Score in Chicago reports.
Analysis: It's hard from this report to tell if this is a serious injury, so watch his status over the next day or two. While David Montgomery remains the favorite for most of the regular-season playing time in Chicago's backfield, Herbert's preseason usage suggests he has solidified himself as Chicago's No. 2 running back and could even split some of the workload.

Plays with starters Thursday
Herbert rushed once for seven yards and caught both of his targets for two yards in Thursday's 27-11 preseason win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Herbert got the start with David Montgomery getting the night off, but the second-year running back only played one possession himself before being removed along with fellow skill position starters Justin Fields, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet. While Montgomery remains the favorite for most of the regular season playing time in Chicago's backfield, Herbert's usage Thursday suggests he has solidified himself as Chicago's No. 2 running back heading into the team's Aug. 27 preseason finale in…read more

Rushes for 20 yards
Herbert carried the ball seven times for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Herbert looks like the Bears' number two running back this season, but that meant he was the top back on the depth chart Saturday with David Montgomery (undisclosed) out. Herbert wasn't particularly efficient with his touches and also failed to pull in any of his three targets.

Clear No. 2 RB to open camp
Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today views Herbert as the only running back on the Bears after David Montgomery to be a lock to make the team's regular-season roster.
Analysis: Herbert was excellent when called upon to start for three weeks when Montgomery was injured last year. In those games, Herbert averaged over 100 yards from scrimmage. However, once Montgomery returned, Herbert averaged three touches over the last eight games. Unless he can take work away from Montgomery, Herbert's fantasy potential will only be realized if Montgomery misses time. Also currently in the team's backfield mix behind Montgomery and Herbert as training camp approaches are Darrynton…read more

Four carries in season finale
Herbert rushed four times for 11 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 103 carries for 433 yards and two touchdowns along with 14 receptions for 96 yards.
Analysis: The highlight of Herbert's season was when he took over lead-back duties for David Montgomery over a four-week span and averaged more than 20 touches and 97 yards, showing that he can be a strong option if needed in the future. As long as Montgomery remains ahead of him on the depth chart, he'll be selected in fantasy drafts as a valuable backup with upside if he's needed to start games. He'll enter the second year of his four-year rookie deal, and his solid performance when called upon in 2021…read more

Minor role in win
Herbert rushed twice for nine yards in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert has five carries over the Bears' last five games and unless David Montgomery is unexpectedly unavailable in Week 18 against the Vikings, Herbert's unlikely to see more than a handful of touches.

Finds end zone in victory
Herbert rushed twice for 21 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: With David Montgomery carrying the ball 21 times while being targeted nine times, Herbert was granted a few opportunities to give Montgomery a rest. Fortunately, on one of his chances, he had an explosive 20-yard touchdown run. However, it's unlikely he sees an elevated role in Week 17 against the Giants unless the game becomes one-sided.

Targeted four times
Herbert caught three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Herbert did most of his damage on receptions in the final minutes of the game. Otherwise, he saw occasional change-of-pace work. Unless David Montgomery misses time, Herbert won't likely see enough work to be a major factor in the fantasy playoffs.

Returns to full practice
Herbert (illness) returned to full practice participation Friday.
Analysis: Herbert was unable to practice Thursday due to an illness, but his return to full capacity Friday suggests that he should be ready to suit up Monday against Minnesota. His role is a different question, as he has not topped four rushing attempts in any of his last five games. With David Montgomery (illness) also returning to a full practice Friday, Herbert will likely be limited to an insignificant role once again.

Herbert (illness) was a non-participant at the Bears' practice Thursday.

Barely used in offense
Herbert rushed once for three yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Damien Williams returning from a calf injury, Herbert served as the third-string running back, though he was used as the Bears' primary kick returner. Aside from leagues that include return yardage, Herbert won't likely see enough usage to be a lineup option in the fantasy playoffs unless David Montgomery is forced to miss time.

Minimal work in loss
Herbert rushed four times for 16 yards and caught his only target for 11 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert's 27 yards were five more yards than he had in the last three games combined since David Montgomery returned to the lineup in Week 9. Unless Montgomery misses more time, Herbert's likely to have very limited fantasy value.

Four touches in win
Herbert rushed four times for nine yards in the Bears' 16-14 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: After barely seeing the field in each of the last two games since David Montgomery returned from a knee injury, Herbert was sprinkled in a bit more liberally this week. However, he was still out-touched by Montgomery 20 to four, and unless Herbert's role significantly increases, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

Hardly used in defeat
Herbert had one carry for zero yards in the Bears' 16-13 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Just four carries as backup
Herbert rushed four times for 13 yards in Monday night's 29-27 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Herbert saw veteran David Montgomery return from a four-game absence to lead Chicago's backfield with 15 touches for 80 yards. Although the rookie got three carries during the first half, he was hardly involved during the second, taking a back seat to Montgomery as the Bears staged a comeback attempt. Given Herbert's production while Montgomery was previously sidelined, it's possible he's incorporated more in the offense following the team's Week 10 bye, but Herbert's stock has clearly taken a…read more

Likely headed back to No. 2 role
Herbert is expected to shift into a complementary role Monday against the Steelers with the Bears set to reinstate lead back David Montgomery (knee) from injured reserve prior to the contest, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: When he spoke to the media earlier Monday, head coach Matt Nagy didn't go into detail regarding what Montgomery's workload might look like in his first game back after a one-month absence, but the 24-year-old appears likely to pace the Chicago backfield in snaps and touches against the Steelers following a good week of practice. The Bears could be inclined to ease Montgomery in to some extent rather than having him immediately reclaim the 70-to-80 percent snap shares he routinely handled in…read more

Receives 25 touches in loss
Herbert rushed 23 times for 72 yards and caught two passes for minus-4 yards in the Bears' 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert started out strong, but the 49ers started to load the box, which bottled him up the rest of the way. He's now handled at least 21 touches in each of his last three games, and he'll remain a strong fantasy option until David Montgomery (knee) returns. At that juncture, it will be interesting to see what Herbert's role evolves into.

Hits century mark on ground
Herbert rushed 18 times for 100 yards and caught five passes for 33 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Facing a Bucs defense that boasts one of the best run defenses in the league, Herbert was the lone bright spot for the Bears in this game. Gaining most of his yardage in the first half, he had more yardage on the ground than the team had through the air at intermission. Even though Damien Williams was active, Herbert was the clear lead back, and there's a great chance he'll remain in that role until David Montgomery (knee) returns to the lineup.

May share workload Week 7
Herbert could see his workload decrease after Damien Williams (illness) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The Bears haven't officially stated who will take over as the starter given Saturday's development, but it wouldn't be surprising to see both Williams and Herbert revert back to the Week 5 workload split, when the duo combined for a near even share of 34 carries. Herbert's excellence against the Packers last week could help him earn the larger share of the aforementioned split, especially if Williams has to work back into game shape after testing positive for COVID-19, but looming over the…read more

Comes up big in first start
Herbert rushed 19 times for 97 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for 15 yards in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Herbert had consistent success running the ball against a Packers defense that's struggled against the run this season, and if the Bears didn't trail for much of this contest, he may have had even better production. Even if Damien Williams (illness) returns next week, Herbert should continue to see significant work in a shared backfield until David Montgomery (knee) returns, so he should retain enough value to be a consideration for fantasy lineups for the next few weeks.

Likely No. 1 back for Week 6
Herbert is the leading candidate to serve as Chicago's lead back Sunday against the Packers after the Bears placed Damien Williams (foot/knee) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: The Bears haven't indicated whether Williams tested positive for the virus, but he'll likely face an uphill battle to clear all of the NFL's health and safety protocols with less than 72 hours to go before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. After David Montgomery (knee) was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Week 5 win over the Raiders, Williams drew the start, but Herbert saw a surprising level of involvement in the No. 2 role. Herbert played 52 percent of the offensive snaps in the win,…read more

Leads team in rushing
Herbert rushed 18 times for 75 yards in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Although Damien Williams drew the start, Herbert was involved in the rushing attack early, and as the Bears played with a lead in the second half, he dominated touches as the team closed out the contest. He also had carries in the red zone but failed to cash in, and Damien Williams punched in the only rushing score the team had. Given the amount of work Herbert was given, he may be useful in fantasy lineups while David Montgomery (knee) misses time.

Herbert could be in line to start if David Montgomery (knee) and Damien Williams (thigh) are unable to suit up,
Analysis: At this time, Montgomery seems like a long shot to play, and Williams has a thigh bruise, which seems unlikely to keep him out, but more clarity will emerge as the Bears conduct this week's practices. Herbert was selected in the sixth round of this year's draft and was impressive when used with the second-string offense in the preseason, though it's difficult to gauge his potential production should he be thrust into the starting lineup.

Herbert is part of Chicago's three-player backfield to start the regular season according to the Bears' official website.
Analysis: After an impressive preseason, Herbert enters the season as the No. 3 running back behind David Montgomery and Damien Williams while the team will be without Tarik Cohen (knee) for at least the first six weeks of the season due to his placement on the PUP list. Although Herbert is on the roster, he may not see many touches unless one of the other backs ahead of him misses time.

Finds end zone
Herbert rushed three times for 15 yards and a touchdown while adding a three-yard reception in the Bears' 41-15 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday.
Analysis: Herbert played with the second-team offense in the second half, and he took advantage of the mobility of Justin Fields, as the quarterback had the defense leaning in the wrong direction when Herbert converted a 13-yard touchdown run. While Tarik Cohen (knee) continues to miss time, Herbert seems to be tightening his grip on the No. 3 role in the Chicago backfield.

Shines in NFL debut
Herbert is having a strong camp, and he's currently third on the Bears' depth chart, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

Hence, Herbert could retain his current spot.

Sharp in pro debut
Herbert had six carries for 38 yards and three catches for 11 yards in Saturday's 20-13 preseason win over Miami.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick was the third running back through the rotation, behind only David Montgomery (who left after one snap) and Damien Williams. Herbert took advantage, and he was the primary running back during a mid-game stretch where rookie QB Justin Fields led the Bears to 17 points in a span of three drives. The roster numbers for Herbert are still tough if Tarik Cohen (knee) ever makes it back from the PUP list, but so far the rookie is doing his part to convince the team to keep…read more
