# How long is Coby Bryant expected to be out with his knee injury?

Coby Bryant is expected to be out **8–10 weeks** after suffering a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and small fracture during the Bears' first padded practice on August 3. He's not expected to need surgery.

The timeline puts him in question for a Week 5 return **at best** — meaning he'll miss at least the first three games (Panthers, Vikings, Eagles). It was a tough scene: he was carted off and visibly frustrated, slamming his helmet after the injury occurred in a one-on-one red-zone drill covering Cole Kmet (from the **Coby Bryant** page).
