  "account": "Former Cincinnati Bearcats safety Coby Bryant experienced a serious injury during Chicago Bears practice on Monday, August 3, according to CHGO Sports' Adam Hoge. The incident occurred as Bryant participated in a 1 v. 1 drill against Bears tight end Cole Kmet, when he appeared to grab his left knee in pain. Following the incident, Bryant was seen getting onto a cart and looked visibly emotional. Bryant, now in his fifth NFL season, joined the Bears in a three-year, $40 million deal after spending four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, where he won a Super Bowl. During the 2025-26 regular season, Bryant played 15 games for the Bears, recording 66 tackles (39 solo), four interceptions, seven pass breakups, and a forced fumble. Previously, he played four seasons for Cincinnati from 2017 to 2021, earning the Jim Thorpe Award in 2021 for being the top defensive back in college football.",
