Bears head coach Ben Johnson had a bombshell for us Tuesday, revealing that safety Coby Bryant is going to miss four to six months after having knee surgery. That's much different than the previously reported timeline that he'd be out eight to 10 weeks. Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote react to the news. When did the Bears know this was the actual timeline? And why didn't they get the news out sooner? In other injury news, it sounds like tackle Ozzy Trapilo could return sooner from his knee injury than thought. But exactly how soon is yet to be seen. And receiver Luther Burden is going to miss the preseason but is expected to be back for Week 1 of the regular season. Also in this episode, the guys share their latest observations from practice at Halas Hall.
Coby Bryant's injury is a gut punch. But here's what I know: Ben Johnson doesn't panic, and neither should we.

Edwards finally returning to 11-on-11 team drills after a lengthy rehabilitation process. Edwards immediately made his presence felt by blowing up a Roschon Johnson run for a tackle for loss.And another young defensive back is taking advantage of Chicago's injury situation.Undrafted rookie safety Skyler Thomas recorded his first interception of camp, picking off Tyson Bagent while continuing to receive opportunities created by the injuries throughout the Bears secondary.Then we get to two completely different injury stories.

Davis produced the biggest highlight with a diving, one-handed catch in the corner of the end zone—a play some observers called the best catch of Bears training camp.The left-tackle competition may also be moving toward a conclusion.

Which front office improved the most? Which team is built for a deep postseason run? And which trades could define October baseball?⚾ Cubs Trade Deadline BreakdownThe Cubs made their biggest splash by acquiring veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman from Toronto, adding postseason experience and much-needed stability to an injury-riddled rotation.
