Loss of rookie fullback could hamper Bears’ rushing attack
Short-handed in ground game
LAKE FOREST – The good news: Matt Forte ran without difficulty during the Bears’ practice Saturday.
The bad news: Evan Rodriguez stood still on the sidelines.
Perhaps the comparison seems ridiculous. Forte is a Pro Bowl running back who has averaged 103.5 yards from scrimmage in 62 games. Rodriguez is a little-known rookie fullback who has played 38 snaps without touching the ball on offense.
