Bears RB Michael Ford must pass protect well and flash on special teams in order to keep his roster spot. He's a candidate to return kickoffs, and he had five special teams tackles last season as an undrafted rookie. On offense, he averaged 3.8 yards on 39 carries last preseason.

"He has shown his speed," HC Marc Trestman said. "He has shown his ability to catch the ball. He has shown his ability to run in practices. I think we'll see a lot more as we move on, how he has adapted to our protections."

Bears RB Matt Forte had 363 touches last season, the second most of his career. It was the first season since 2009 in which he had more than 300. As he approaches his 29th birthday in December, let's see whether the increased contact affects his power, explosiveness and endurance. In training camp and exhibition games, at least, it seems logical for the Bears to get Forte the work he needs but not a touch more.

Besides, the backs behind Forte need repetitions to answer many questions. As is the norm with backups, those center on pass protection.

RB KaDeem Carey commands the brightest spotlight. GM Phile Emery evaluates two criteria: toughness and reactive instincts for finding the correct defensive rusher. Carey "has shown that repetitively," Emery said after the Bears drafted him.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears RB1 job still belongs to Forte, but it's a good sign Carey is gaining at least a little praise for his pass protection early on. With Michael Bush gone, Carey appears next in line for work if something were to happen to Forte. According to this story, he's considered a roster lock. Tony Fiammetta is considered a good bet while Michael Ford, Shaun Draughn, Jordan Lynch and Senorise Perry are competing for one spot.
