Cohen was the Bears’ top offensive player and an All-Pro punt returner in 2018, but has had brutal injuries.

Cohen is expected to sign with the Panthers after being out since 2020 with a knee injury. “To see him making a comeback and that he stayed [with] it, it’s really awesome,” Kmet said. “He’s an electric player when he was healthy, so hopefully he can get back to that.”

The diminutive running back, a fan favorite in four seasons with the Bears, hasn’t played since suffering a knee injury on a punt return in Week 3 of the 2020 season. Finally healthy after tearing his Achilles last year, he has drawn interest from “multiple teams.”

Former Bears cornerback Buster Skrine was arrested in Canada on Wednesday night on several fraud charges totaling more than $100,000.

McMichael had been in the hospital since Thursday.

He will stay in intensive care for the next few days with hopes that intravenous antibiotics can clear the infection.

McMichael has been battling late-stage ALS for two years and was hospitalized Thursday.

Stevenson, whom the Bears traded up to get in the second round of the draft (No. 56 overall), is the starter opposite Jaylon Johnson and figures to keep the job. But ‘Smitty’ has made a good first impression on coach Matt Eberflus and is getting a chance to compete.

Bears owner Virginia McCaskey is no longer a candidate this year, but former defensive coordinator Clark Shaughnessy remains a semifinalist.
