Chicago Bears: Ben Johnson gives surprising update on injured S Coby Bryant
Over the course of the 2026 NFL off-season, the Chicago Bears had to revamp most of their defensive secondary. The safety position, in particular, saw all of their key contributors from a year ago depart in free agency. As a result, the Bears used their own vital and limited free agent resources and draft picks to address the position.
Their biggest free agent signing this off-season was former Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant. Last year, he won the Super Bowl with Seattle, and Chicago hopes that he will bring valuable leadership and play-making to a young Bears defense.
Unfortunately, it is not clear when he will be able to be back on the field.
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is not sure how long Coby Byrant will be out
The day that Bryant got hurt, it was reported that he was, unfortunately, going to be out for 8-10 weeks. However, head coach Ben Johnson told reporters today that he has no idea where that information came from. No one in their building has put a timetable on Bryant’s return:
THIS MORNING: #Bears HC Ben Johnson on the reported 8-10 week window for S Coby Bryant’s left knee injury: “I don’t where you guys got that; hasn’t been said here. I’ll let you guys know whenever we know for sure what it looks like for him.”
Johnson just stated the team is still… https://t.co/bnarVf08p2 pic.twitter.com/ybpmkTYYtJ

As one can see, Johnson says the team is still in the information gathering stage. To be clear, it was ESPN’s Adam Schefter who reported that Bryant would be out for 8-10 weeks. He claims he got this information from sources inside the Bears organization.
This could be Johnson attempting to deflect questions about the safety position, which is not in good shape with Bryant out. Hopefully, he will be able to return relatively soon.
Either way, Chicago needs to try to shore up the secondary.
