Former Bears running back Tarik Cohen's bid to resume his NFL career will continue with the New York Jets according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Schefter reports Cohen is signing a one-year deal with the team.  The veteran last appeared in a regular season game with the Bears in 2020. He suffered a torn ACL and other knee injuries that kept him out for all of 2021 and he then tore his Achilles in 2022. Cohen spent time on the Panthers practice squad last season and signed a future contract with the team, but he was released earlier this month.

When healthy, Cohen scored touchdowns as a runner, receiver and punt returner in Chicago. He was an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection for his work as a returner and the Jets will get a chance to see if he can still impact games over the coming months.
