The Chicago Bears need a healthy body to handle the lion's share of touches out of the backfield.

Against the Washington Commanders last weekend, Khalil Herbert suffered a high ankle sprain, Roschon Johnson suffered a concussion, and Travis Homer exited the game with a hamstring injury.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Herbert will "miss multiple weeks." Johnson is still in concussion protocol, but Homer didn't have a role on offense and is yet to see a target or log a rushing attempt for the season.

The Bears may turn to D'Onta Foreman, who has been listed as a healthy scratch for each of the previous four games. Even if Johnson plays, Foreman should have a role alongside the rookie fourth-rounder.

In the second half of the 2022 campaign, the 27-year-old took over a featured role in the Carolina Panthers' ground attack and made the most out of a shared backfield with Chuba Hubbard following Christian McCaffrey's departure to the San Francisco 49ers.

Last year, Foreman rushed for 108-plus yards in five out of 11 outings after Week 6. We could see shades of his 2022 form this week.

Though the Vikings only allow 3.5 yards per carry, managers should be intrigued by Foreman's potential volume of touches, especially if Johnson has to sit out because of a head injury.
