With the loss of David Montgomery, Khalil Herbert could be called upon as the top running back in Chicago in a group that also includes newcomer D’Onta Foreman.
Herbert has been with the team for two seasons now, coming off of a 731-yard rushing season with four touchdowns in 13 games. In that span, he only started one game, serving as a complement to Montgomery. Herbert only had 129 carries in 2022, averaging 5.7 yards per rush, most in the NFL.
There is a lot of confidence in Herbert. He played well in relief of Montgomery in 2021, and then again played well as the second back in 2022. If he is the Week 1 starter, he is going to have to step things up to make sure Chicago has a successful running game, yet again this season.
