CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Editor's note: The video features news when Tarik Cohen signed with the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers put running back Tarik Cohen on practice squad injured reserve Monday, ruling him out for at least the next four weeks, the team wrote in a statement.
This comes two months after signing with the team in September after showing good signs in workouts and on the practice field.
Head coach Frank Reich said last week that Cohen had a hamstring issue, which was a "setback" in his attempts to return.
Cohen last played in the league in 2020, when he was one of the top return men and a versatile offensive threat with the Chicago Bears, the team writes. A series of injuries have kept him sidelined since then.
As a 4th-round pick of the Bears in 2017 out of North Carolina A&T, Cohen became an All-Pro selection in 2018. He had 444 rushing yards and three touchdowns, 71 catches for 725 receiving yards and five touchdowns, and led the league with 411 punt return yards.
