Overview
- Coby Bryant was carted off after grabbing his left knee during a one-on-one drill covering tight end Cole Kmet, with reporters saying the incident occurred Monday and he appeared visibly emotional.
- Multiple camp reporters described the play as a non-contact injury and said Bryant slammed his helmet before boarding the cart under his own power.
- The Bears have not issued an official diagnosis or timetable as of the latest reports and backups Cam Lewis and Elijah Hicks took Bryant’s practice reps.
- Teammate Rome Odunze told reporters that Bryant “should be fine,” but the team is awaiting imaging and medical results that will determine any missed time.
- Bryant signed a three-year, $40 million deal in March and was expected to start opposite rookie Dillon Thieneman, so the outcome of testing will shape Chicago’s depth, potential short-term lineup decisions, and whether the club pursues outside help.
