The Facts: Bears GM Ryan Pace believes Montgomery can be the team’s featured running back and carry a heavier load, if the Bears opt to run more in 2020.

Diehards Line: So the Bears are still confident enough in Montgomery, who carried the ball 242 times for 889 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie, to keep him in the lead role. According to ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson, Matt Nagy likely wants to get Montgomery more involved on offense, so that's something to watch for in coming weeks. Besides Montgomery, the Bears have to carve out a role for Tarik Cohen in the backfield. Cohen, who's entering the final year on his original rookie deal, didn't make much of an impact in 2019, but the Bears still believe in him -- just not as a primary weapon.
