Won't play Sunday Brisker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Brisker began displaying concussion symptoms Monday, after the team's Week 5 win over the Panthers. Due to this, the Penn State product did not travel with the Bears to London for a Week 6 matchup, and it appears he won't be joining the team on a later flight either. In Brisker's absence, Elijah Hicks will be in line to start at strong safety.

Won't play Sunday Bears general manager Ryan Poles said Brisker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Brisker began displaying concussion symptoms Monday, after the team's Week 5 win over the Panthers. The Penn State product did not travel with the Bears to London, but he wasn't immediately ruled out from clearing the five-step concussion protocol prior to the weekend. However, the Bears are now deciding to play it safe with Brisker, who will have Week 6 plus a Week 7 bye to potentially exit the protocol in time to return to the lineup Week 8 versus the Commanders on Oct. 27. In Brisker's absence, Elijah Hicks is expected to pick up a start at safety in London.

In concussion protocol Brisker displayed concussion symptoms Monday is not traveling with the team to London in the evening, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Brisker presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's victory over Carolina. It was the first game he did not see the field for every defensive snap. He finished the game with five tackles (three solo), one pass defended and one forced fumble on 49 snaps (84 percent). There is a chance for him to still fly to London for Week 6 should he clear concussion protocol. If he cannot, Elijah Hicks would presumably be the next-man-up at strong safety.

Huge performance in victory Brisker tallied 12 stops, an interception and a sack in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Impact After averaging eight tackles through three games, Brisker had his highest tackle total of the season while recording his first interception and sack of the campaign. With Brisker's worst game of 2024 being a six-tackle performance, he is a high-floor, high-upside IDP as a defensive back.

Big performance in Week 1 Brisker collected 10 tackles in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Impact Brisker averaged seven tackles per game in each of his first two year with the Bears, so his Week 1 performance demonstrates an upside performance based on his career norms. In an emerging Chicago defense, Brisker could be in line to increase his 2022-2023 production, which could make him an elite IDP.

Back at practice Wednesday Brisker (undisclosed) was not listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Brisker missed multiple weeks of practice during training camp due to an unspecified injury. He was able to progress to individual drills, and it appears the 2022 second-round pick is fully healthy from whatever was ailing him. Brisker has registered back-to-back 100-tackle seasons to start his NFL career, and he will serve as the Bears' starting strong safety alongside free safety Kevin Byard.

Returns in limited capacity After missing the last three weeks due to an undisclosed injury, Brisker returned to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not clear what has been ailing Brisker, but the 2022 second-round pick has been sidelined with the unspecified injury and has missed both of Chicago's preseason bouts. Given that he's still limited in his practice participation, he'll likely sit out of Thursday's preseason finale against Kansas City. Once fully healthy, Brisker is slated to serve as the Bears' starting strong safety and work alongside free safety Kevin Byard (undisclosed).

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Potential to be elite IDP Brisker averaged 104.5 tackles and 15 games played during his first two years with the Bears.

Impact Since 2022, Brisker has just four games with fewer than five tackles, giving him an excellent IDP floor. In addition, the safety showed upside last year by posting at least eight tackles in four of his last nine games. If the defense around him continues to improve, Brisker may be freed up to make more big plays. The third-year player is worth considering as a starting option in IDP leagues.

Impact Brisker was a high-variance IDP, as his weekly tackle totals showed a patterns of highs and lows. In 15 games, the safety collected 105 tackles, one sack, one interception and a forced fumble. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Brisker could see his production increase in 2024 if the Bears continue to build on the defensive improvements they made in the second half of the season.
