The Chicago Bears report that safety Coby Bryant will be sidelined for 4–6 months after undergoing knee surgery. Multiple outlets say the injury involves a hyperextended left knee and a bone bruise, and that the surgery and subsequent recovery extend his absence beyond earlier projections.
One initial report placed Bryant’s return at roughly eight to 10 weeks. Yahoo Sports later updates that expectation to the longer 4–6 month timetable, citing a recovery setback. Fox Sports similarly reports Bryant underwent knee surgery following a training-camp injury and that the recovery window has shifted. Across the coverage, the main differences are limited to how the setback is described and how much detail is provided about the injury, while the overall status and timeframe remain consistent.
