Bears Safety Jaquan Brisker Returns After Season-Ending Concussion

Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker is returning to the field after missing most of the 2024 season due to a vestibular concussion suffered in a Week 5 game against the Carolina Panthers. Despite the severity of his injury, which caused vertigo and required a long recovery, Brisker has maintained a positive mindset and is determined to play with the same physicality and aggression he showed in his first three NFL seasons. He emphasized that he never considered retirement and has the full support of his family and teammates, including veterans who helped him through the difficult recovery period. Brisker has been cleared medically and is focused on adapting to a new defensive system under head coach Ben Johnson. While external concerns remain about the impact of multiple concussions on his career, Brisker is confident in his health and ability to continue playing at a high level. The upcoming training camp will be a key moment for him to prove he can still deliver his aggressive style on the field.
