Report: Bears S Coby Bryant (knee) to miss 8-10 weeks

Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant is expected to miss 8-10 weeks after he was carted ​off the field at training ‌camp on Monday with an knee injury, ESPN reported.

Bryant has a hyperextended knee, a bone bruise and a small fracture, according ‌to ​the report. If ⁠Bryant needs 10 weeks ⁠to recover, then he would return roughly in time for the Bears’ Week 5 showdown with the ​Packers on Oct. 11 in Green Bay.

Multiple reports from earlier Monday ⁠indicated that the Bears’ ⁠major offseason acquisition went ​down grabbing his left knee during a ​practice rep. He was able to ‌get on the cart under his own power, but was visibly emotional.

Bryant, 27, signed a three-year, $40 million ⁠contract in March after a stellar campaign with the Seattle Seahawks that ended with a ⁠Super ‌Bowl LX win. He ⁠started 15 games in 2025, ​logging ‌66 tackles, four interceptions and ​a forced ⁠fumble.

A fourth-round draft pick by Seattle in 2022, Bryant has played in 58 games (34 starts) and posted 227 tackles, two sacks and seven interceptions.
