FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets on Wednesday signed former Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen, who last played in the NFL in 2020 because of injuries.

The 28-year-old Cohen was an All-Pro as a kick return specialist in 2018 and was selected for the Pro Bowl. He broke his right leg and tore his ACL and MCL in 2020 and missed all of that season and the following season.

During the 2022 offseason, Cohen tore an Achilles tendon — similar to the injury suffered by Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in last year’s season opener — and missed that entire season.

He was cleared to play last summer and signed with Carolina’s practice squad but spent most of the season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He was released by the Panthers on May 10.

Cohen participated in his first practice with the Jets and made a nice play when he took a toss from Tyrod Taylor, hit the corner and zipped down the left sideline for a big gain.
