Khalil Herbert

The Chicago Bears have made a trade prior to Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, sending running back Khalil Herbert to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to multiple reports.

Former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt weighed in on the uncertain future of Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, noting that recent losses have raised doubts about his tenure

The Bears got back to their bread and butter against the Cardinals on Christmas Eve and ran the ball for 250 yards on 39 carries. The offense is predicated on an effective ground game, and the great 6.4 yards per carry average translated to 27 points and a win. The man who shouldered most of the load was Khalil Herbert,…

There will be no coal for the Bears this Christmas. The offense was as hot as a burning Yule log to start the game, and scored three touchdowns in three-straight drives between the first and second quarters. The defense was stingier than a miserly Scrooge. There were some icy patches over the middle of the game, and in the fourth…

With D’Onta Foreman out with an ankle injury, Khalil Herbert should get the bulk of touches out of the Bears’ backfield on Monday night in Minnesota.

The biggest Bears news of the day was head coach Matt Eberfus announcing Justin Fields will not start against the Panthers on Thursday Night Football because he’s not medically cleared to play, then leaving the door open a crack for Fields to return based on how he progresses Thursday a.m. “There’s a little time left but again, we’ll declare...

The Bears designated Khalil Herbert, Equanimeous St. Brown and Josh Blackwell to return from injured reserve on Monday. This begins a 21-day practice window for all three players. If the Bears don’t move those players to the active roster within those 21 days, they will need to shut them down for the remainder of the season. Herbert hurt his ankle…

The Bears will miss Khalil Herbert, but an unheralded offseason move by general manager Ryan Poles might save the day and keep the offense on track.

Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy felt he called the ideal play to pick up the critical fourth-and-1 in the Bears’ loss to the Broncos, but a good play call doesn’t work with poor execution.

The Bears’ decision to go for it on a critical fourth-and-1 against the Broncos was universally supported in the locker room despite the outcome. The play call, however, is a different story.

Over the course of the Bears’ blowout 38-20 loss to the Packers on Sunday, there were plenty of disappointing moments for fans to moan about. New star wide receiver DJ Moore only touched the ball twice. The defense couldn’t get off the field on third or fourth down. Justin Fields had a ho-hum day instead of looking like the...

When the Bears used a fourth-round draft pick to add Roschon Johnson to their already crowded running backs room, the thought was they were building a three-headed monster to build on last year’s NFL-leading rushing attack. Khalil Herbert is the holdover from last year, and boasted the league’s best yards per carry average among non-QB rushers. Ryan Poles signed...

The Bears have spent a lot of time working on their short passes and screen games this season, and they saw instant results in their first preseason game against the Titans on Saturday. Justin Fields and the first-team offense scored two touchdowns in just seven plays, and both scores came on 50+ yard screens. “Yeah I don’t think I’ve...

Justin Fields, DJ Moore, and Khalil Herbert got the Bears off to an explosive start in the preseason opener.

It was no secret what running back Khalil Herbert needed to improve upon over the offseason. If he wanted to be a true three-down back he needed to improve both as a pass protector and pass blocker. So he attacked those weaknesses this offseason, and took up boxing to improve his first strike when engaging with blitzing linebackers or...

The Bears are about to begin the training camp grind this week, and when they do they’ll set the foundation for the 2023 NFL regular season. For the first time, the team will be able to put on the pads and the intensity level of practice will increase. Soon, the depth chart will begin to crystalize. Many starting jobs are…

Is the Bears’ running back group more exciting than fans think? Pro Football Network recently ranked the NFL’s top running backs, listing Khalil Herbert No. 24 and D’Onta Foreman as the No. 25 running back. The Bears were the only team to have two running backs in the top 25. Last season, Herbert finished his sophomore season on a successful…
