Bears' defense takes a hit as Coby Bryant sidelined 4-6 months after knee surgery

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.
