What happened

Coby Bryant was carted off during one-on-one drills after landing awkwardly while covering tight end Cole Kmet. Adam Schefter reported the injuries include a hyperextended knee, bone bruise and small fracture, with no surgery expected. The timeline points to a mid-to-late September or early October return.

Fantasy impact

Bryant is mainly an IDP contributor. His absence thins the Bears' secondary and creates short-term opportunities for depth safeties. Standard fantasy managers can disregard the news, while IDP players should seek temporary replacements on the waiver wire.
