Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant is progressing through rehab after a knee injury that required surgery, with an expected return around early December. Bears head coach Ben Johnson stated that Bryant is on track with his recovery, but the next month will be crucial in determining if he can return this season. Bryant is expected to start running on land in the near future, but practicing change of direction will be a significant test for his knee. With Bryant sidelined, rookie Dillon Thieneman has emerged as the team's top safety and one of their best defensive players.
Additionally, cornerbacks Malik Muhammad II and Tyrique Stevenson Sr. were absent from practice due to injuries, while linebackers T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn returned after recovering from their respective injuries. Tight-end Coleston Loveland expressed his support for fellow tight-end Cole Kmet, who will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.
