Bears safety Coby Bryant expected to miss 8-10 weeks with knee injury

Coby Bryant, the Chicago Bears' free-agent signing, will be sidelined for 8-10 weeks due to a knee injury sustained during training camp. The injury, described as a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and small fracture, occurred during a 1-on-1 drill against tight end Cole Kmet. Bryant, who signed a three-year contract worth $40 million this offseason, was seen emotional after the incident and required a cart to leave the field. His absence is a setback for a Bears team that has already lost starting safeties Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker this offseason. The Bears will look to both Bryant and first-round draft pick Dillon Thieneman to strengthen their secondary.
