The Chicago Bears have officially placed running back Tarik Cohen on injured reserve following his torn ACL during the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
As expected, the Bears also elevated undrafted rookie running back Artavis Pierce from the practice squad to the active roster. That leaves David Montgomery, Cordarrelle Patterson, Ryan Nall and Pierce as Chicago’s running back room moving forward, as head coach Matt Nagy has expressed faith in the depth on the current roster.
We have officially placed Tarik Cohen on IR and elevated RB Artavis Pierce to the active roster. We have also signed DE Terry Beckner & LB Sharif Finch to the practice squad.@Hyundai | #DaBears

The Bears also signed two players to the practice squad in defensive end Terry Beckner Jr. and linebacker Sharif Finch.
Chicago hosts the Colts this Sunday as they look to remain undefeated against a dangerous Indianapolis team.
