7:24pm: An MRI has confirmed that Cohen ruptured his Achilles, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter).
5:54pm: After missing most of the 2020 NFL season with a torn ACL and MCL, as well as a tibial plateau fracture, and missing the entire 2021 season recovering from those injuries, former-Bears running back Tarik Cohen may be looking at another unfortunate setback. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Cohen looks “to have suffered a serious lower-leg injury during a workout (that he was) streaming on IG Live.” 
Cohen was a fourth-round draft pick for Chicago in 2017 after an outstanding career at the HBCU North Carolina A&T. Splitting carries with now-Eagles running back Jordan Howard as rookie, Cohen worked mostly as the team’s receiving back. In his sophomore year in Chicago, Cohen blossomed in his assigned role breaking out for 725 receiving yards and 5 receiving touchdowns, in addition to his 444 yards rushing and 3 rushing touchdowns. He also threw two touchdown passes in his first two years with the Bears.
In his third year, Cohen was only able to see three games of action before suffering his major knee injuries. They sidelined him for the rest of the year and he sat out the following year, as well, in an effort to work back to full health.
Cohen was released by the Bears two months ago and was working towards finally making a comeback from his injuries as a free agent. Unfortunately, if the reports are accurate, it appears that Cohen’s comeback bid may have to wait a bit longer.
horrible luck, hoping for a speedy comeback. video was pretty brutal
poor guy, can’t even catch a break. no pun intended
This kid can’t catch a break, video looked bad, man this sucks, been through hell and back hopefully he can find some peace he deserves nirvana
I’m no where near as athletic as he is, but when I tore my ACL, it was one of the most painful recoveries and rehab ever. Best of luck to him for a speedy recovery.
Ugh. I really like watching him play and feel for him. Glad he got a second contract before it happened.
Nice change of pace player for the Bears but RBs of his type usually aren’t built for the long haul. I’d probably retire if I was tagged with the nicknames he has.
That’s a thought video to watch because you can hear the heartbreak in his voice. He knew immediately what happened. It’s almost as if he knew his career could be done with another significant injury. Feel for the guy
I can’t even make myself watch the aforementioned video. I definitely feel for the young man, prayers and best wishes on a full recovery..
You just have to hope this isn’t the end of his career…I pray it isn’t, he certainly deserves much better than such a tough ending to such a promising career..
Nows a good time to resign him huh Georgie
You must be fun to be around.
