Garrett Wolfe, a third round pick in 2007 out of Northern Illinois has landed on the injured reserve for the second straight season.
Wolfe suffered a lacerated kidney in the November 8th blowout against the Cardinals. Wolfe had 22 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown so far this season, averaging 15 yards per carry. He also had nine special team tackles in the eight games he appeared. Wolfe had 21 tackles on special teams last season and was a real leader on the unit.
With the loss of Wolfe, Adrian Peterson will see a lot more work on special teams and maybe a carry here and there.
Look for the Bears too try to snag a runner off of another teams practice squad, who has some special teams experience. If not they’ll likely promote Kahlil Bell from their own practice squad or add free agent RB Maurice Hicks to help contribute immediately.
We’ll see what the Bears will do in the coming days, but this is a bad loss for the Bears special teams which ranks fourth this season. Wolfe was also looking like a solid contributor on offense, but we’ll have to wait until next season to see him on the field again. Wolfe joins Kevin Jones as the second running back to land on the injured reserve.

that is a bummer, Wolfe was playing surprisingly well on offense and even though he is little he is really good on special teams

Wolfe was definitely not worth a third round pick in 2007, thanks for that info I didnt know that, but he is a decent player, wish they got a better backup for Matt Forte. I think Adrian Peterson is actually really good, but they barely use him. We'll see on Sunday night. GO BEARS!!!
