Could we see more of this Bear in 2022

Jesper Horsted is a player who Bears fans thought would get a shot to produce in 2021. After a fantastic display in the final pre-season game of the 2021 season, some people believed the tight-end deserved a chance to prove his worth during the regular season. During that game, Horsted caught five passes for 104 yards and 3 Td's. This is production the Bears could use from the tight-end position.

Horsted appeared in 7 games in 2021 only getting targeted 3 times. He caught 2 passes and both went for touchdowns. If he finds the endzone so often, why not use him more often?
