Bears safety Coby Bryant has knee surgery and is expected to miss months
Chicago coach Ben Johnson said Bryant had an operation on his knee after a practice injury and could be sidelined for four to six months.
Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant has had knee surgery and is expected to be out for four to six months, coach Ben Johnson said Tuesday. The injury happened during practice, leaving the team without one of its defensive backs for a lengthy stretch.
CBS Sports reported that Bryant sustained a hyperextended knee, a bone bruise and a small fracture in the incident. The Bears did not give a more detailed timetable beyond Johnson's estimate.
Bryant's recovery window would keep him off the field for much of the season if it follows the expected course. The Bears are now waiting to see how he responds after the procedure.
