Bears S Coby Bryant had knee surgery, will miss 4-6 months
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Bears safety Coby Bryant underwent knee surgery last week and is expected to miss four to six months, extending his recovery timeline beyond the initially estimated two to three months.
- If Bryant recovers on the shorter end of the timeline, he could return for the end of the regular season and potential playoff games, though the team cannot rely on this outcome.
- Bryant’s extended absence is a significant setback for the Bears' defense, especially after they signed him following his Super Bowl win with the Seahawks.
- Xavier Woods is listed as the backup safety behind Bryant, with Dillon Thieneman starting and several other players, including Josh Blackwell and Brandon Hill, in reserve roles.
