Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant is expected to miss 8-10 weeks after he was carted off the field at training camp on Monday with an knee injury, ESPN reported.

Bryant has a hyperextended knee, a bone bruise and a small fracture, according to the report. If Bryant needs 10 weeks to recover, then he would return roughly in time for the Bears' Week 5 showdown with the Packers on Oct. 11 in Green Bay.

Multiple reports from earlier Monday indicated that the Bears' major offseason acquisition went down grabbing his left knee during a practice rep. He was able to get on the cart under his own power, but was visibly emotional.

Bryant, 27, signed a three-year, $40 million contract in March after a stellar campaign with the Seattle Seahawks that ended with a Super Bowl LX win. He started 15 games in 2025, logging 66 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble.

A fourth-round draft pick by Seattle in 2022, Bryant has played in 58 games (34 starts) and posted 227 tackles, two sacks and seven interceptions.
