Matt Forte, RB, Chicago BearsNews | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Depth Chart Bears | McKie's role should change some Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears FB Jason McKie's role with the team should change now that they have hired Mike Martz as their offensive coordinator. RB Matt Forte is a more effective runner in sets where he has a fullback. Martz favors an abundance of four-wide receiver sets where there will not be room for two running backs. Bears | May look to add a short-yardage RB Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte struggled running the ball in short-yardage situations last season. Forte is an upright runner, and running the ball between the tackles didn't always suit him well. The team could look to add a short-yardage back this offseason, either through free agency or the 2010 NFL Draft. Bears | Forte undergoes surgery Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte (knee) underwent arthroscopic knee surgery within the last two weeks, according to sources.

Bears | Forte rushes for over 100 yards Week 17 The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte rushed for 101 yards on 16 carries in Week 17. He was only the second time this season he rushed for at least 100 yards in a game.

Forte continued to play in the game, so the injury appears to be minor. Bears | Bell not expected to see increased role Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears RB Kahlil Bell is not in line to see more carries despite the struggles of RB Matt Forte. However, Bell will continue to be a part of the offense. "You need more than one good running back. We've even played three good running backs around here, so to answer your question, I do see Khalil continuing to be a part of our offense, and with production like that, why not?" head coach Lovie Smith said. Bears | Forte held to 34 yards rushing Week 11 The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte had 14 carries for 34 yards Week 11. He also caught four passes for 20 receiving yards.
