Per Adam Schefter: Coby Bryant had surgery and is out 4-6 months. They hope to have him back for the playoffs.

The defense is going to be BAD bad.

It's Coby's new normal.

You gotta be effing kidding me.

Ben Johnson confirms.

4-6 months? Even if he comes back for playoffs how useful can he be? Great news(Ozzie) followed by this ugh.

[BigSlick]

So our biggest defensive offseason signing is out for the year. That's less than ideal.

It's bad, but I also didn't think this defense was gonna be any good anyway. Hard to calibrate my expectations on this.

Bryant at 75% will assuredly be a big improvement from anyone we run out there between now and his return.

The Bears went all in on defensive backfield when it became clear they weren’t going to make a leap on the line.  Now it looks like that plan is shaky.

Gonna be a lot of shootouts.

Bears Fans: Get comfortable with high scoring shootouts. In a way we need this. We need to live through this for the next few years. It will be ok.
