Carolina Panthers special teams coach Chris Tabor said they will rev up running back Tarik Cohen's repetitions in practice this week to see where he is. The punt returner/RB could add some explosiveness to an offense that has lacked it through two weeks of the season as well. Cohen is attempting to make an NFL comeback after some serious knee injuries, and he hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020. It wouldn't hurt the Panthers to see what he can give him on offense behind Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard, but it's unrealistic to expect the 28-year-old to contribute meaningfully outside of special teams anytime soon.

Free-agent running back Tarik Cohen intends to sign with the Carolina Panthers' practice squad on Wednesday. Cohen, who last appeared in an NFL game in 2020, is fully healthy after a serious knee injury kept him out of the league over the past two seasons. The veteran running back is a pass-catching specialist and will provide the Panthers with some depth behind Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. Cohen would be worth keeping an eye on if he were to be promoted to the active roster in the future.

Former Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen (Achilles, knee), who missed the last two seasons due to an ACL injury and a right Achilles tear, is now healthy and ready for NFL workouts, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. The 28-year-old is looking to resume his NFL career. In Cohen's last full season with the Bears in 2019, he had 64 carries for 213 yards while catching a career-high 79 passes for 456 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games (11 starts). He was an All-Pro in 2018, when he caught 71 passes for a career-high 725 yards and five touchdowns through the air. Cohen will attempt to latch on with a team in 2023 and could provide pass-catching depth to a team's backfield.
