Jaquan Brisker Placed on Injured Reserve

Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker has been placed on injured reserve due to a concussion sustained in a Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers. This marks Brisker's third concussion in his three-year NFL career, and he has missed four consecutive games since reporting symptoms. Head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed that Brisker is still navigating the concussion protocol and will miss at least four additional games, making him eligible to return in Week 15. During Brisker's absence, Elijah Hicks will fill in as the starting safety alongside Kevin Byard. The Bears' decision to place Brisker on IR reflects concern for his health given his history of concussions.
