Ex-Seahawk Coby Bryant leaves Bears practice with injury

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Just when the Chicago Bears got their first injured player of training camp back to the practice field on Monday, they had a second injury on their first day in pads.

Running back Kyle Monangai returned to practice briefly after missing three straight workouts with a soft tissue injury, but starting safety Coby Bryant went out during one-on-one drills with an apparent leg injury and left the field in a cart.

Bryant, the former Seattle Seahawks player who was acquired in free agency, was working against tight end Cole Kmet in one-on-one drills and clutched his left leg near the knee. He was able to get in the cart on his own power, but the scene was scary for the Bears, who are depending on Bryant’s speed in a revamped starting secondary.

The team hasn’t announced the nature or severity of the injury and coach Ben Johnson spoke Monday prior to practice.

“You know, it always sucks to see,” tight end Colston Loveland said of the injury. “That’s part of it. You know, he’s tough, he’s a dog. He’s going to be fine.

“We’re not worried about it but I don’t know. We’ll leave that (prognosis) to coach Johnson.”

Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson described Bryant’s value as more than just speed in the secondary.

“He’s come in with the juice,” cornerback Tyrique Stevenson said. “Obviously from practice, when he’s coming out in the middle of the field to make PBUs, he’s just a spark plug.

“He’s bringing that energy every day and he done won it at the highest level so he’s not letting nobody slip under the standard.”

Bryant was replaced at safety by both Cam Lewis and Gervarrius Owens. His role is also critical because he is a veteran playing alongside rookie starter Dillon Thieneman at the other safety spot.

The Bears signed Lewis as a free agent from Buffalo, while Owens was on Chicago’s practice squad last season.
