The Story in Brief
Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant will miss four to six months after undergoing surgery on his injured left knee, coach Ben Johnson said on Tuesday. Bryant, who signed a Rs 340 crore ($40 million), three-year deal as a free agent this off-season, was hurt at practice on August 3. Johnson said the surgery took place on Friday but did not give details of the injury. He did not rule out Bryant returning this season.
The Bears have signed veteran safety Xavier Woods as a replacement. The news comes as the team prepares for its first pre-season game against Cleveland on Saturday. Wide receiver Luther Burden will miss the rest of training camp and the pre-season with a groin injury but is expected back for the regular season. Several other players have minor injuries.
The Indian Opinion
American football fans here will note the familiar pattern of a big free-agent signing going down before playing a meaningful snap. The hype around Bryant as a Super Bowl winner is now replaced by the hard reality of recovery timelines. Watch how quickly Xavier Woods adapts, his first practice interception is promising, but a full pre-season test will tell the real story.
