Khalil Herbert Struggles In Return To Lineup

Khalil Herbert Struggles In Return To Lineup

12 months ago

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made his return in Week 11 after a five-game hiatus due to an ankle injury. Despite the anticipation surrounding his comeback, Herbert faced significant challenges, managing just 35 yards on 16 rushing attempts and adding two receptions for six yards in the team's 31-26 loss to the Lions. The first-half departure of backfield mate D'Onta Foreman, sidelined with an ankle injury, increased Herbert's workload. However, he struggled to gain momentum, averaging a modest 2.19 yards per carry for the day. Looking ahead to Week 12, the Bears are set to face the Vikings, a team allowing the 20th-most points per game to running backs this season. Herbert could be a solid play, especially in the Bears' run-heavy offensive strategy, leveraging his skills in a potentially favorable matchup.
