  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Won't play Sunday

    Brisker (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Brisker was unable to practice all week and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a concussion sustained in the Bears' Week 5 win over the Panthers. Elijah Hicks is expected to continue serving as Chicago's top strong safety until Brisker can pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Remains in protocols

    Brisker (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports. Brisker has been sidelined since he began suffering from concussion symptoms the Monday after their Week 5 win over the Panthers. It's not clear if the Penn State product is making much progress in his recovery, but he'll need to show he can practice and be cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to action. Considering the situation, he may be on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Won't play in Week 8

    Brisker (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. It appears Brisker still hasn't passed the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following the Bears' bye week, so he's in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Expect Elijah Hicks to start alongside Kevin Byard as part of Chicago's top safety duo in Brisker's stead.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Misses practice Wednesday

    Brisker (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Brisker is day-to-day, suggesting he isn't too far from returning to football activities. Even still, if he can't practice Thursday or Friday, it's not likely that he'll suit up in Week 8.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Won't play Sunday

    Bears general manager Ryan Poles said Brisker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Brisker began displaying concussion symptoms Monday, after the team's Week 5 win over the Panthers. The Penn State product did not travel with the Bears to London, but he wasn't immediately ruled out from clearing the five-step concussion protocol prior to the weekend. However, the Bears are now deciding to play it safe with Brisker, who will have Week 6 plus a Week 7 bye to potentially exit the protocol in time to return to the lineup Week 8 versus the Commanders on Oct. 27. In Brisker's absence, Elijah Hicks is expected to pick up a start at safety in London.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: In concussion protocol

    Brisker displayed concussion symptoms Monday and isn't traveling with the Bears to London ahead of the team's Week 6 game against the Jaguars, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports. Brisker presumably sustained the concussion in Sunday's victory over Carolina. He finished the game with five tackles (three solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble on 49 snaps (84 percent), marking the first time all season that he didn't play every snap on defense. While Brisker still has time to clear the five-step concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the fact that he didn't travel with the team likely suggests that the Bears aren't counting on him being available. Elijah Hicks or Jonathan Owens will likely start at safety alongside Kevin Byard if Brisker is ruled out for Week 6.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Huge performance in victory

    Brisker tallied 13 stops, an interception and a sack in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday. After averaging eight tackles through three games, Brisker had his highest tackle total of the season while recording his first interception and sack of the campaign. With Brisker's worst game of 2024 being a six-tackle performance, he is a high-floor, high-upside IDP as a defensive back.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Big performance in Week 1

    Brisker collected 10 tackles in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. Brisker averaged seven tackles per game in each of his first two year with the Bears, so his Week 1 performance demonstrates an upside performance based on his career norms. In an emerging Chicago defense, Brisker could be in line to increase his 2022-2023 production, which could make him an elite IDP.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Back at practice Wednesday

    Brisker (undisclosed) was not listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday. Brisker missed multiple weeks of practice during training camp due to an unspecified injury. He was able to progress to individual drills, and it appears the 2022 second-round pick is fully healthy from whatever was ailing him. Brisker has registered back-to-back 100-tackle seasons to start his NFL career, and he will serve as the Bears' starting strong safety alongside free safety Kevin Byard.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Potential to be elite IDP

    Brisker averaged 104.5 tackles and 15 games played during his first two years with the Bears. Since 2022, Brisker has just four games with fewer than five tackles, giving him an excellent IDP floor. In addition, the safety showed upside last year by posting at least eight tackles in four of his last nine games. If the defense around him continues to improve, Brisker may be freed up to make more big plays. The third-year player is worth considering as a starting option in IDP leagues.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Concludes second season in Chicago

    Brisker posted eight tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Brisker was a high-variance IDP, as his weekly tackle totals showed a pattern of highs and lows. In 15 games, the safety collected 105 tackles, one sack, one interception and a forced fumble. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Brisker could see his production increase in 2024 if the Bears continue to build on the defensive improvements they made in the second half of the season.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Takes step backward

    Brisker (groin) did not practice Thursday. Brisker logged a limited practice Wednesday, so this is clearly a step in the wrong direction for the second-year safety, and a late-week downgrade usually doesn't bode well for a player suiting up on game day. Brisker will try to get back on the field Friday to help increase his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Browns.

  • Bears' Jaquan Brisker: Logs full practice session Monday

    Brisker (concussion) was a full participant in Monday's walk-through practice. Brisker missed the Bears' last two games while dealing with concussion symptoms, but he's since cleared the league's five-step protocol and should be able to return to action this Thursday versus Carolina. He's been a steady source of tackles when healthy, averaging 6.4 stops over his seven contests thus far this season.

    Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Monday that Brisker has cleared the concussion protocol and will be available for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Brisker missed the Bears' last two games while in the protocol. He will likely step back into a starting role at safety Week 10, and he projects as a solid IDP option after amassing 45 tackles, a forced fumble and a half sack through his first seven appearances on the season.
