Bears Safety Coby Bryant to Miss Four to Six Months After Knee Surgery
Ben Johnson said Bryant will miss most or all of the regular season after surgery for a knee injury in team drills.
- Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson announced on Tuesday that safety Coby Bryant will miss four to six months following knee surgery, sidelining the defensive back for most of the 2026 season.
- Bryant sustained a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and small fracture during a one-on-one drill at practice on August 3, forcing him to leave the field on a cart. Initial reports suggested 8-10 weeks, but surgery extended the timeline.
- Following his Super Bowl win with Seattle, the Bears signed Bryant to a three-year, $40 million contract this offseason. Chicago addressed the vacancy by signing veteran safety Xavier Woods, who intercepted quarterback Caleb Williams in his first full practice.
- "Coby's the template for how we all want our team play," Johnson said, expressing hope for a return near season's end. The coach acknowledged the loss creates a significant void in the secondary.
- Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen described the situation as a "game of attrition," noting that wide receiver Luther Burden is also managing a groin injury while the team prepares for its first preseason game on Saturday.
