Wolfe Ready To Take Backup Role

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of the regular season next weekend, and part of that preparation was cutting down the roster to 53. One decision was made easier for the Bears as they found out that backup running back Kevin Jones is going to be out for the season because of torn ligaments in his ankle. The injury came during the Bears’ game against the Cleveland Browns.

Jones move to injured reserve leaves Garrett Wolfe and Adrian Peterson as the backups to star Matt Forte. Wolfe, for one, is ready for the challenge. He said, “I’m very ready. This is my third year. I played more my rookie year as a running back than I did last year. But it’s something I embrace and something I’m excited about, and I can’t wait for the opportunity… It’s a great opportunity for not only me but for Adrian as well. I’m very excited, and that’s the only thing that’s changed. I’ve prepared myself for these types of situations. So has Kevin and so has Adrian. The only thing that’s changed is just the increased opportunity that Adrian and I will have.”
