"He is cleared, ready to go," coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. "Like we said last week, he's got all his jumps, his speed. He's been cutting, he's been moving. He looks great. We're excited about his return."
Herbert sustained a hip injury Nov. 13 on a kickoff return late in a loss to the Lions. He was placed on IR and has missed the last four games. Herbert has 108 carries for 643 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games in 2022 while working in tandem with David Montgomery. The Bears could definitely ease Herbert back into backfield reps after a long layoff, but It will be nice to see a few more talented players around QB Justin Fields.
