The Chicago Bears, fresh off their Week 2 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, made a roster move today by promoting Raheem Mostert to the active squad. The second-year running back played his college football at Purdue and played the 2015 season with the Browns, Ravens and Dolphins before signing with the Bears.

Mostert adds another option in the return game. He returned 19 kickoffs for 350 yards (27.9 yards-per-return) during his rookie season and should provide Chicago with another option should Deonte Thompson continue to struggle to put the Bears in favorable field position.

The 5-foot-10, 197-pound Mostert also offers depth at running back. Ka’Deem Carey suffered a hamstring injury against the Eagles and his status for Week 3 is up in the air. Mostert’s promotion strongly suggests that Carey will miss some time.

The Bears need all the help they can get on offense. Getting more production in the return game will be a good first step.
