Now, Tarik Cohen finds himself a free agent looking for another opportunity. But it appears as though he’s hit yet another roadblock.

During a workout, it was reported that Cohen suffered another injury.

“Here’s hoping it’s not too serious,” Jacob Infante of Draft Wire said. “He’s been through so much, and another major injury would just be devastating.”

The Tarik Cohen video is heartbreaking. I'm not gonna post it. I just hope the injury isn't as bad as it seems. He's too good of a human for this to happen, I can't believe it. ☹️

Last thing Tarik Cohen needs is that video floating around. I had to delete. Lapse in judgment on my part.

Prayers up to 29. Chicago is here for you.

Tarik Cohen appeared to be an exciting member of an up-and-coming Bears team during the 2018 season, but he could have never prepared himself for the long road that was coming after that successful season.

The last injury appears to be an achilles tear based on the video floating around the web, but we’ll continue to track for any and all updates.

Regardless, we’re sending thoughts to Tarik Cohen. He’s going to have so many people rooting for his comeback story.
