Chicago Bears’ Coby Bryant to miss 4-6 months after surgery
Aug 11, 2026 · 1m
Summary
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson announced that safety Kobe Bryant will miss four to six months following successful knee surgery. This timeline exceeds initial reports of an 8-10 week absence, complicating plans for the team's major free agent signing. The injury further strains the Bears' revamped safety room, which already deals with issues involving Elijah Hicks and Cam Lewis. Consequently, first-round pick Dylan Thienmann faces increased pressure to contribute early in the season.
