Tarik Cohen, a former Chicago Bears running back, was encouraged to broadcast a training session on his social networks to show that he is getting better and better, and the surprise was that he got injured again.
It’s pouring rain on Tarik Cohen, who is currently a free agent and looking for an NFL team. It seems that he has a bad luck magnet, since he was recovering from an injury, and now he is already suffering from another.
The Bears decided to cut him last March, after multiple injuries did not allow him to perform in the best way, and it was one after another and the patience of the Windy City franchise was not enough.
Tarik Cohen wanted to share with his Instagram followers that despite not having a team, he is training and is getting better and better after his anterior cruciate ligament injury. But things went wrong, since during practice, he felt discomfort and fell to the grass, and seconds later he grabbed the back of his leg.
Later, Adam Schefter of ESPN confirmed that the injury was serious, since in a tweet he said that after performing an MRI on the player it was found that he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon.
How Long does Tarik Cohen have without Playing in the NFL?
Tarik Cohen was selected by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 Draft with the #119 overall pick, and so far that is the only NFL team he has been on.
He played only three full seasons with the Bears, but his performance in that span had been enough for the franchise to offer him a three-year extension. He signed this extension on September 20, 2020, but the black cloud began to follow him there, since in Week 3 of the 2020 season he suffered a knee injury, which forced him to miss the rest of the season.
He also missed the 2021 season after he was placed on the reserve/physically incapable list.
Cohen has a record of 264 carries for 1,101 yards with five rushing touchdowns and 209 receptions for 1,575 yards with nine receiving touchdowns.
