Competition arrives Herbert is likely to be in a running back committee after the Bears signed D'Onta Foreman in free agency Thursday,
Impact Before Foreman was signed, Travis Homer and Trestan Ebner were the only other running backs on the Bears' roster. 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. It's unclear whether Herbert or Foreman will be the lead back, but with Foreman weighing 235 pounds, he would seem the more likely candidate for early down and goal-line work. However, nothing is certain at this point except Herbert now has serious competition for work.

Impact 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 a 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. With Montgomery set to hit free agency, if the team doesn't re-sign him, Herbert may move right into the lead back role. He's signed through the 2024 season.

Limited role in loss Herbert rushed five times for 31 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact 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. In the Week 18 finale against the Vikings, Herbert will likely remain in a backup role to Montgomery, which will result in an uncertain workload.

Inefficient on ground Herbert rushed six times for seven yards in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Herbert also caught two of three targets, but his receptions lost four yards. Coming back after missing the past four games, he had 10 fewer carries than David Montgomery. Although Herbert has a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Lions, he'll need to see increased usage in order to be a solid fantasy option.

Comes off IR Chicago reinstated Herbert (hip) from injured reserve Friday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Impact After missing the minimum four games while on IR, Herbert was cleared to resume practicing Tuesday and checked out fine during the Bears' three sessions this week, prompting head coach Matt Eberflus to sign off on the running back's return to the 53-man roster ahead of Saturday's game versus Buffalo. While Herbert was sidelined, Darrynton Evans and Trestan Ebner handled limited roles behind top running back David Montgomery, but expect Herbert to push for a larger share of backfield snaps and touches now that he's healthy again. Over the last six games in which both Montgomery and Herbert were available from Weeks 5 through 10, Herbert saw snap shares ranging between 22 and 41 percent and averaged 9.3 carries per contest.

Will be activated for Week 16 Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Herbert (hip) will be officially reinstated from injured reserve Friday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Impact Once the transaction is made official, Herbert will be back on the Bears' 53-man roster and thus eligible to make his return to action Saturday against the Bills after spending the minimum of four games on IR due to the hip issue. Herbert was cleared to resume practicing with the Bears on Tuesday and has apparently responded well to his on-field work, so expect him to step back in as the top complementary option to David Montgomery, who will likely see his opportunities take a hit with Herbert back in the fold. While both Montgomery and Herbert were available over a six-game stretch from Weeks 5 through 10, Herbert averaged 9.3 carries per contest.

Ready to practice The Bears designated Herbert (hip) for return from injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Following the Bears' Week 15 loss to the Eagles, Herbert has spent the minimum four games on IR due to a hip injury. Coach Matt Eberflus told Larry Mayer of the team's official site Monday that Herbert was "cleared, ready to go. ... He looks great." Chicago likely will allow Herbert to take part in all Week 16 sessions before making a decision to activate him ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills, which must be done by 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday. Once he's back on the active roster, he'll team up with David Montgomery out of the backfield.

Impact "He is cleared, ready to go," coach Matt Eberflus said Monday of the running back, who last suited up for game action Nov. 13. "Like we said last week, he's got all his jumps, his speed. He's been cutting, he's been moving. He looks great. We're excited about his return." Prior to injuring his hip, Herbert logged 108 carries for 643 yards and four TDs, while adding six catches for 62 yards and a receiving score in 10 games. In his looming return to action, the 2021 sixth-rounder is set to rejoin a backfield timeshare with David Montgomery, a context that gives Herbert some fantasy utility down the stretch.

Could be back Week 16 Herbert (hip) is expected to return to practice prior to Chicago's Week 16 game against the Bills, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Herbert will need to be designated for return from injured reserve, at which point he will be cleared to practice. If he looks healthy in practice, Herbert could then retake the field against Buffalo. Prior to getting hurt, Herbert had been working in a backfield committee with David Montgomery.
