The Bears placed Bryant (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports general manager Ryan Poles stated the Bears will "remain flexible" on both Bryant and tight end Hayden Large (undisclosed) as they manage their injuries. Bryant will likely need to miss at least four months due to the knee surgery he underwent on Aug. 11. If the free safety recovers quickly, he could return to the team sometime in late December to help with a potential playoff push.

Bryant (knee) had surgery Friday and will be out for 4-to-6 months, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Chicago's prized offseason signing on defense now seems more likely than not to miss the entire regular season. The Bears reportedly have some hope that Bryant can return for Week 18 or the playoffs, but it's not something the team can count on as they prepare for the campaign ahead. With Bryant unavailable, Xavier Woods and Cam Lewis (leg) are the top candidates to step up at safety alongside first-round pick Dillon Thieneman.

Bryant was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury Monday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports. Chicago is expected to provide an update on Bryant's status in the near future. The 27-year-old defensive back, who signed a three-year, $40 million deal this offseason, was in line to be the team's starting safety entering training camp. Bryant is coming off a 2025 campaign with the reigning champion Seahawks where he recorded 66 tackles, four interceptions and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games.

Bryant (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Bryant missed the final two games of the regular season due to a knee injury, but he had an additional week of rest courtesy of the Seahawks' wild-card round bye as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. With his full practice Tuesday, Bryant is on track to play in Saturday's divisional-round clash against the 49ers, which would likely result in Ty Okada reverting to a rotational role in the Seahawks' secondary.

Bryant (knee) is inactive for Saturday night's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Bryant will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury he sustained in the Seahawks' Week 16 overtime win over the Rams. Ty Okada will likely once again start at strong safety in Bryant's absence.
