News

  • Likely to leave Chicago

    Patterson doesn't seem likely to re-sign with Chicago, according to SI.com's Gene Chamberlain.

    Analysis: Given their hefty salary commitments and unsettled QB situation, the Bears don't seem likely to spend significant money on a player who primarily makes an impact on special teams. Patterson did add backup RB work to his bag of tricks in 2020, but he averaged only 3.6 yards per carry and 6.3 per reception, while starter David Montgomery put up 4.3 YPC and 8.1 YPR. In any case, the Bears hope to have Tarik Cohen (knee) back in the mix next season, so Patterson won't necessarily get carries even…read more

  • Limited role in defeat

    Patterson rushed four times for 18 yards in the Bears' 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson had just six touches over the final three games of the season, and on the year, he rushed 64 times for 232 yards and a touchdown while catching 21 passes for an additional 132 yards. After the Bears complete their playoff run, he's set to hit unrestricted free agency, and he'll likely remain a borderline fantasy option.

  • Active for Week 17

    Patterson (knee) is listed as active heading into Sunday's game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Given Sunday's injury report, the special-teams guru will remain without a regular-season absence for the seventh time in eight pro campaigns. He's enjoying yet another prolific season on returns, resulting in his second straight Pro Bowl nod. Patterson has also taken on a role as Chicago's No. 2 back, garnering 10-plus carries on two separate occasions since Week 10.

  • Considered questionable for finale

    Patterson (knee) carries a questionable designation into Sunday's game against the Packers after participating fully in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Patterson submitted full sessions Wednesday and Friday, but the versatile veteran still carries an injury tag into a vital Week 17 home game against Green Bay. Having just earned his second Pro Bowl nod in as many years, Patterson remains an elite special-teams contributor, compiling an NFL-high 964 kickoff return yards and one return touchdown in 2020. Patterson has also contributed 126 rushing yards and one rushing TD over 31 attempts the past seven weeks, as he continues to step in as the…read more

  • Sticks to special teams

    Patterson didn't play on offense in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Jaguars, JJ Stankevitz of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Analysis: Patterson dealt with a knee injury during the practice week, so perhaps that led to the decision to restrain his usage to just three snaps, all on special teams. The blowout nature of the game and David Montgomery's success may have been factors as well. It'll be interesting to see how Patterson is used in the season finale against the Vikings.

  • Active Sunday

    Patterson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old was considered questionable after sitting out practice all week, but he's ready to go for Sunday's contest. Patterson should continue to operate as Chicago's primary kick returner and secondary running back behind starter David Montgomery.

  • Uncertain for Sunday

    Patterson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The Bears listed Patterson as a non-participant Wednesday through Friday, suggesting he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game. An absence would leave Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce as the reserve backfield options, picking up whatever scraps three-down workhorse David Montgomery leaves behind.

  • Sits out another practice

    Patterson (knee) missed Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Patterson's usage in the Bears offense has been sporadic, per usual, with seven games with at least five touches and three others with two or fewer in his 14 appearances this season. On Monday, coach Matt Nagy considered Patterson day-to-day this week, but he has yet to get on the practice field in any capacity. Patterson has one more chance to prove the health of his knee ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

  • Non-participant Wednesday

    Patterson (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Chicago's practice estimate Wednesday.

    Analysis: The Bears held a walkthrough practice, but Patterson would not have been able to take the field had it been a more traditional session. Coach Matt Nagy labeled the return man and backup running back day-to-day Monday, but Patterson will likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday in order to have a realistic shot of suiting up Sunday in Jacksonville.

  • Deemed day-to-day

    Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Patterson (knee) is considered day-to-day ahead of a Week 16 matchup versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Patterson suffered this injury during the second quarter but was able to return after halftime. He will be monitored throughout the week. The day-to-day tag signals that Patterson has a good chance to play Sunday in a must-win contest. His main contributions come on special teams, since David Montgomery is operating as a bell cow. Patterson leads the league with 942 yards on kick returns this year.

  • Limited to seven yards

    Patterson caught one pass for four yards while adding a three-yard rush in the Bears' 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: With David Montgomery carrying the team on his back with 32 carries, Patterson was an afterthought in the Chicago offense, resulting in the fourth time this season he produced fewer than 10 rushing and receiving yards. Due to his inconsistent role in the offense, he'll be difficult to trust in Week 16 fantasy lineups despite a favorable matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Returns from knee injury

    Patterson (knee) is back on the field Sunday against the Vikings, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old left due to the knee injury just before halftime, but he was able to retake the field in the second half. Patterson should continue to work as the secondary running back and primary kickoff returner for the Bears.

  • Exits with knee injury

    Patterson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a knee injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old had one carry for three yards, one receptions for four yards and returned one kickoff for 19 yards before leaving the contest. Ryan Nall would serve as Chicago's secondary running back and Anthony Miller could be the return man if Patterson can't return after halftime.

  • Receives six touches

    Patterson rushed six times for 26 yards in Chicago's 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson continued to serve as the change-of-pace running back to David Montgomery, and he was targeted just once as a receiver. Although he came into this game posting at least 40 combined yards in three straight contests, his lack of upside combined with a low-scoring floor makes him a difficult player to trust in the fantasy playoffs.

  • Scores rushing touchdown

    Patterson rushed 10 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding a four-yard reception in Chicago's 34-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the Bears leading for the majority of this contest, they were able to have balance between the run and the pass for one of the few times this season, leading to Patterson having an effective performance as the backup running back to David Montgomery. He's now posted at least 40 combined yards as a rusher and receiver in two of his last three games, and although his upside is typically limited, he could be used as an emergency option in deep leagues during the fantasy playoffs.

  • Receives two touches

    Patterson rushed twice for eight yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: After posting at least 40 yards in each of the last two games, Patterson posted his third game of the season with fewer than 10 rushing and receiving yards. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, he'll continue to be a low-upside fantasy option.

  • Upgraded to full participant

    Patterson (calf) logged a full practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson popped up on the injury report Wednesday, logging a limited session, but he's already back to full speed with a Week 12 matchup against Green Bay approaching. David Montgomery (concussion) notching full practices in consecutive days may lead to mitigated involvement on the ground for Patterson, after the veteran collected a season-high 12 rushing attempts Week 10 against Minnesota. Patterson does maintain a receiving role, however, with multiple receptions in four consecutive games.

  • Limited at Wednesday practice

    Patterson logged a limited practice session Wednesday due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: The origin of the calf issue is unclear, but the fact Patterson was able to practice -- albeit in limited fashion -- bodes well for his availability Sunday against the Packers. However, with David Montgomery (concussion) expected to return to action, Patterson's temporary role as the team's starting running back has likely come to an end.

  • Scores on kick return

    Patterson returned a kickoff for a touchdown while rushing 11 times for 28 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

    Analysis: Although he easily led the Bears in rushing attempts, Patterson placed his stamp on this game by taking the opening kickoff of the second half to the house. His eight career touchdowns on kickoff returns tie him for the most ever with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington. However, aside from leagues that provide scoring for return yardage, he remains a low-floor weekly fantasy option. With the Bears on bye in Week 11, he'll likely go back to seeing a few touches per game if David Montgomery returns…read more

  • More work in store?

    Patterson could be in line for more opportunities after David Montgomery (concussion) was ruled out ahead of Monday's game.

    Analysis: Patterson is technically listed as the No. 2 option behind Montgomery, but it's fair to question if the Bears would expect the nimble specialist to operate in a similar capacity. The 29-year-old did carry the ball 21 times over a two-week stretch with the Patriots back in 2018, but he's otherwise seen more than six carries one either time in his career -- Week 2 against the Giants following Tarik Cohen's season-ending knee injury. While Patterson will likely play the most snaps of any Bears…read more

  • Posts 40 scrimmage yards

    Patterson caught four passes for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: With David Montgomery leaving the game early with a head injury, Patterson saw his highest number of touches since Week 2. Though he's yet to post more than 45 yards in any game this season, Patterson could be worth adding in leagues where he qualifies as a running back if Montgomery is forced to miss time, based on potential volume.

  • Receives three touches

    Patterson rushed once for four yards and caught two passes for one additional yard in the Bears' 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson has failed to surpass 13 rushing and receiving yards in five of his last six games. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, his current fantasy value is minimal.

  • Active in Week 8

    Patterson (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's Week 8 tilt against the Saints.

    Analysis: Patterson only turned in a sole limited practice this week, but reports earlier in the day had indicated he was trending up for this contest. This news now makes it official that the versatile wideout/returner/occasional running back will be available to take on a Saints defense that has been one of the league's toughest against the run but susceptible to big plays through the air thus far this season.

  • Should play Week 8

    Patterson (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Coming off the Bears' Monday night loss to the Rams, Patterson only managed one limited practice this week while contending with the quad issue. The maintenance he received looks like it will be enough for Patterson to get the green light for Week 8, but the versatile wideout seems likelier to see his role within the Chicago offense shrink rather than expand after a poor showing versus Los Angeles. He turned four targets into three catches for just 11 yards and carried three times for one yard…read more

  • Questionable to face Saints

    Patterson (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Held out of practice the previous two days, Patterson returned Friday as a limited participant. He's mostly been serving as David Montgomery's backup in recent weeks, but Patterson could see some extra work as a wide receiver if he ends up playing and Allen Robinson (concussion) doesn't. The Bears are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday afternoon.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Patterson (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson's status for Sunday's contest against the Saints appears to be in legitimate jeopardy now that he's missed back-to-back practices. If Patterson can't go Sunday, Darnell Mooney will stand to take over as the Bears' top return man. Ryan Nall would also slot in as the No. 2 option behind David Montgomery in the backfield.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Patterson (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Patterson appears to have picked up an injury during Monday's 24-10 loss to the Rams, in which he had six offensive touches and returned four kickoffs. If the veteran special-teams ace were forced to miss any time, Darnell Mooney would stand to handle kick returns while Ryan Nall could see some snaps behind David Montgomery.

  • Totals 12 yards

    Patterson had three carries for one yard and caught three of four targets for 11 yards during Monday's 24-10 loss to the Rams. He also returned four kickoffs for 94 yards.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old has now played between 10 and 15 offensive snaps in all seven games this season, and he has 25 carries for 71 yards while catching 11 of 13 targets for 77 yards. It seemed possible Patterson could help fill the void left by Tarik Cohen (torn ACL) after the latter landed on injured reserve, but Patterson has seen no uptick in playing time since the injury Week 3 and is averaging only 17.8 scrimmage yards over that four-game stretch.

  • Quiet during win at Carolina

    Patterson gained one yard on his lone rush attempt, and he caught his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 23-16 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: With Chicago devoid of an experienced No. 2 running back since the season-ending injury to Tarik Cohen (knee-ACL) in Week 3, Patterson has registered 11 combined rush attempts over his past four outings. The Bears haven't yet decided to bite on any of the veteran RBs available on the free-agent market, meaning that Patterson is seemingly in line for backup duties at the position until otherwise noted. Current third-string option, Ryan Nall, has yet to garner a single carry on the season.

  • Handles six touches in victory

    Patterson caught three passes for 38 yards and rushed three times for seven yards in Chicago's 20-19 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson had his greatest success on a pair of short receptions on which he was in space and was able to gain yardage after the catch, but he didn't see enough volume to turn it into a big fantasy day. Overall, he's yet to find the end zone this season, and the 45 yards he produced in this game was his highest total of the season, making him a difficult player to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Quiet performance

    Patterson rushed three times for five yards in Chicago's 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even with Tarik Cohen (knee) placed on injured reserve, Patterson's role in the offense didn't change, as he had three carries and two targets. He's averaging 20 yards per game as a runner and receiver, and aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, he has very minimal fantasy value.

  • Used solely as runner in victory

    Patterson carried four times for 13 yards in Chicago's 30-26 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even though the Bears were trailing this game by 16 points early in the second half, Patterson wasn't targeted, though he was used to occasionally spell David Montgomery out of the backfield. With Tarik Cohen potentially missing time with a possible knee injury, Patterson could see a slight increase in his workload. He's currently averaging 27 combined yards per game, so it's possible that he emerges as a potential flex option.

  • Receives nine touches in victory

    Patterson rushed seven times for 25 yards while catching two passes for eight yards in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson saw extra work as a runner while David Montgomery sat out a short time while dealing with a neck injury, but Patterson was also used in a change-of-pace role in the backfield. However, with the team not showing much creativity in utilizing his electrifying speed, he's been unable to make a fantasy impact with the touches he's received since joining the team in 2019. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, he's a low-floor fantasy option with minimal upside.

  • Posts 31 yards

    Patterson carried four times for 19 yards while catching his only target for an additional 12 yards in the Bears' 27-23 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson served as a rotational player, and he provided Chicago with a pair of plays that gained at least 12 yards each. It's unlikely that he sees enough regular work to make him a weekly lineup consideration in most fantasy leagues.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Patterson (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit.

    Analysis: Despite carrying a questionable tag into the weekend, Patterson never looked at any real risk of missing the season opener after he turned in full practice showings Thursday and Friday. Patterson will serve as a depth option at receiver Sunday while also potentially receiving a carry or two on change-of-direction play calls.

  • Expected to suit up

    Patterson (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Lions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

    Analysis: His versatility and return skills are an asset to the Bears, but with running back David Montgomery (groin) also in line to play in Week 1, Patterson, who can take snaps out of the backfield in a pinch, doesn't have a clear path to a high volume of touches.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Patterson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Patterson kicked off the week as a limited participant in practice, but he's now logged back-to-back sessions without restrictions. The 29-year-old kick returner and depth wideout is trending in the right direction for Week 1.

    Patterson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: A limited participant in Wednesday's session, Patterson's advancement to full work a day later clears the way for him to suit up in Sunday's season opener at Detroit. For the second straight year, the 29-year-old is slated to serve as Chicago's top kickoff returner while also providing depth at receiver.

    Patterson was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Patterson's knee injury is a new development, but that he was at least able to put forth a limited practice session bodes well for his chances of suiting up versus Detroit on Sunday. Top running back David Montgomery (groin) was also limited to start the week, and he can't be considered a lock for the season-opener even if he is trending in the right direction. If Montgomery were to miss Week 1, Patterson could be an option to handle some snaps out of the backfield in addition to his usual role…read more

  • Could see RB snaps

    Patterson could get some work in the backfield if David Montgomery (groin) misses games, but Patterson has shown a tendency to bounce runs outside and doesn't have much experience with pass blocking, according to Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune.

    Analysis: The Bears are light on backfield depth, with the other options being passing-down specialist Tarik Cohen, special teams player Ryan Nall and undrafted rookie Artavis Pierce. Biggs identifies Pierce as being the closest to a traditional running back, while the other three guys appear more specialized. Long story short, Patterson has a shot to get some backfield snaps, but he isn't likely to take a large number of carries Week 1 against Detroit.

  • Could see increased carries

    Patterson has been in running back meetings and may be in line to see an increase on the 17 rushing attempts he had in 2019, reports Cam Ellis of NBCsports.com.

    Analysis: When the Bears signed Patterson in 2018, coach Matt Nagy had creative plays drawn up to utilize Patterson's electrifying speed, but instead, he used him infrequently and on very unimaginative play calls. During his lone year in New England in 2017, he carried the ball 42 times and generated 5.4 yards per carry, so Patterson has shown the ability to have success on the ground. Regardless, he's unlikely to see the type of volume to make him worthy of a draft pick -- aside from leagues that award…read more

  • Recovers from concussion

    Patterson (concussion) suited up for the NFC squad in the Pro Bowl on Sunday, finishing with one tackle.

    Analysis: Patterson rebounded from a Week 17 concussion to represent the Bears in the all-star game. He was selected as a return specialist for a contest that doesn't use kickoffs to begin drives, so the tackle was his lone contribution. Patterson is signed with the Bears through 2020, but the team can free up $5.25 million in cap space if he's cut during the offseason, per OvertheCap.com.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Patterson didn't return to the Week 17 game against the Vikings after sustaining a concussion, and he finished the season with 16 carries for 103 yards and 11 receptions for 83 yards.

    Analysis: Patterson averaged fewer than three offensive touches per game, and as he enters the last year of his contract with the Bears in 2020, his fantasy value will mostly be limited to leagues that award yardage for kickoff returns.

  • Gets hurt Sunday

    Patterson left Sunday's game against the Vikings and is being evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: As evidenced by this news, Patterson will now enter the league's concussion protocol and need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to return. As long as the veteran is sidelined, Anthony Miller will likely take over kick return duties.

  • Receives two touches

    Patterson had a 16-yard run and a five-yard reception in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson has had three or fewer touches in all but one game this season, and he won't be a recommended fantasy option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

  • Sees four targets

    Patterson caught one pass for six yards in Chicago's 21-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Patterson has been held to fewer than 25 yards in all but two games this season, and he won't be a recommended fantasy option in a Week 16 home contest against the Chiefs.

  • Ready to rock

    Patterson (head) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Patterson was limited in Thursday's practice due to a head injury, but he now looks back to full health. He's on track to fill his usual duties on the Bears' kick-return unit and as a depth wideout during Sunday's tilt with the Packers.

  • Surfaces on injury report

    Patterson was limited in Thursday's practice with a head injury.

    Analysis: Patterson was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, and if he was able to participate in practice, the injury is most likely minor. Nevertheless, his status after Friday's session will be telling.

  • First reception in five weeks

    Patterson caught one pass for 33 yards in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Patterson also lost five yards on his lone rushing attempt, but his 33-yard reception came on a critical third-and-long, and he extended a drive that led to a Chicago score that helped the Bears toward a victory. This was just the second time since Week 2 that he's posted more than 20 yards in a game, and his low-volume role in the offense makes him a weak fantasy option.

  • Snags one pass in loss

    Patterson caught a five-yard pass on his only target and added 34 yards on two kick returns during Sunday's 22-14 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Patterson is among the league's best kick returners, ranking first in the NFL with 451 return yards and second with 30.1 yards per kick return, but that explosiveness hasn't translated to the offense. Patterson is averaging just one catch per game and 4.9 yards per catch. The Bears' passing attack, in general, has been weak due to the regression of Mitchell Trubisky and it's difficult to imagine Patterson's talents as a returner transferring over to offense at this point in his career, even…read more
