Easily the worst part of NFL training camp has to be the injuries suffered at practice. Every year, a devastating injury happens to someone, somewhere in the league that sidelines them for several weeks, months or even an entire season. Now, former Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant is the latest victim to this annual stroke of bad luck.
Bryant, who signed with the Bears in free agency this offseason, had to be carted off the field from Chicago's practice on Monday. ESPN's Adam Schefter is now reporting Bryant suffered a litany of injuries to his left knee. According to Schefter, they include a hyperextended knee, bone bruise and a small fracture. Although no surgery is expected at this time, these injuries are going to cost Bryant a few games. As it stands, the timeline for recovery is an estimated 8-10 weeks.
Even if we are going with the most conservative, optimistic approach of only eight weeks to the day, the absolute earliest game he could possibly return for would be Week 3's primetime showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Even that feels like more than wishful thinking.
Bryant signed with Chicago once his rookie deal with the Seahawks expired, inking a three-year deal worth up to $40 million dollars with the Monsters of the Midway. Bryant was a quality safety for the Seahawks all four years he was in the Emerald City. He recorded 227 total tackles, two sacks, snagged seven interceptions and even returned one for a touchdown.
