Bears' defense takes a hit as Coby Bryant sidelined 4-6 months after knee surgery
Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant will miss four to six months after knee surgery, likely sidelining him for most or all of the regular season. The Bears will turn to veteran Xavier Woods and free-agent addition Cam Lewis to fill the void, with Dillon Thieneman stepping in as the other starting safety and Elijah Hicks on the physically unable to perform list. If Bryant can return, it would be mid-December at the earliest, but the defense will have to navigate a significant absence for now.
