Bears' Trestan Ebner: Looking to cement role

Ebner is expected to receive plenty of reps in Thursday's preseason game against the Seahawks, Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today reports.

After scoring a touchdown and turning seven touches into 43 yards in last week's preseason opener, Ebner will continue to make a push to secure the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. Ebner could also be a factor on special teams after posting 53 yards in the return game last week against the Chiefs.
