While there’s a lot of hype surrounding David Montgomery entering his second season, there’s more question regarding depth behind Montgomery and Tarik Cohen entering the 2020 season. The Bears don’t have a proven veteran on the roster behind those guys that can serve as Montgomery’s backup.

If the Bears don’t make a move in free agency, it’ll ultimately come down to Ryan Nall and undrafted rookie Artavis Pierce to compete for that third running back spot. Nall has been Chicago’s preseason darling of years past, and he’s the favorite to win the job of Montgomery’s backup. But Pierce, who was recently activated off the COVID-19 reserve list, certainly has the skillset to challenge Nall for that spot.
