After two seasons away from the NFL, running back Tarik Cohen is making a comeback attempt.<\/p>\n

Cohen, who has not played in the league since 2020 due to injuries, plans to sign with the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

Though he does not have a spot on the active roster as of yet, this still marks an accomplishment for the 28-year-old, who suffered multiple injuries after a promising start to his career.<\/p>\n

Cohen was drafted by the Chicago Bears as a fourth-round pick in 2017. Despite his 5-foot-6 height, he made a name for himself with his jack-of-all-trades abilities, collecting yardage as a rusher, pass-catcher and special teams player. Cohen earned a Pro Bowl nod in just his second season, having recorded 725 receiving yards, 444 rushing yards, and 411 yards returning punts.<\/p>\n

Cohen unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury in Week 3 of the 2020 season that sidelined him for the remainder of the year and all of 2021. He attempted to make a return to football last year, but tore his Achilles during a May 2022 workout, pushing back a comeback once again.<\/p>\n

Now healthy for the first time in a while, Cohen’s signing with Carolina’s practice squad is the next step toward a potential return to game action.<\/p>\n

The Panthers currently have three running backs on the active roster, and Cohen will join two others on the practice squad.<\/p>\n
