  • Questionable with illness

    Brisker (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Brisker was a new addition to Friday's injury report and was unable to practice. The safety's availability for Sunday's game will likely be tied to his ability to recover from whatever illness he has acquired. The 26-year-old will likely be able to suit up, but if he cannot, Elijah Hicks is next up at strong safety for the Bears' defense.

    Analysis: Brisker dealt with a back issue during Week 11 prep before ultimately being cleared to play at Minnesota, but now he's back on the injury report with a different problem.

    Brisker posted three tackles (two solo) during the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brisker was cleared to play in Sunday's NFC North clash after his practice reps during Week 11 prep were limited due to a back issue. It didn't appear to bother him all that much as he was on the field for 54 of 55 defensive snaps (98.2 percent), though it was the first time this season that he did not play every single defensive snap in a game. The fourth-year safety is up to 49 tackles (29 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (one interception) through 10 regular-season games.

    Brisker (back) is active for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Brisker missed Chicago's first two practices this week due to a back issue, but he was able to log a limited session Friday.

    Analysis: It's a new injury for Brisker, who is making his first appearance on the injury report this season.

    Brisker recorded five tackles (four solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus Minnesota.

    Analysis: Brisker will probably have better days in the stat sheet this season, but his line was solid considering the Vikings only ran 49 snaps on offense in Week 1. He figures to see a healthy number of opportunities to stop the run when the Bears travel to take on Detroit in Week 2.

  • Expected to contribute in 2025

    Bears general manager Ryan Poles said Tuesday he expects Brisker (concussion) to play for Chicago and contribute during the 2025 campaign, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Poles said Brisker and offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion), both of whom ended the 2024 regular season on IR, are "feeling back to themselves," per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. A 2022 second-round pick, Brisker missed 12 games in 2024 due to a concussion. The Bears will undoubtedly prioritize Brisker's health above all other concerns, but it appears the safety is expected to play a role on defense in the 2025 season, in which he'll be playing on the final year of his rookie contract.

    Brisker went on injured reserve after suffering a concussion in Week 5.

    Analysis: Brisker will hopefully regain full health, and if he returns to action in 2025, he'll go into the last year of his rookie contract coming off of a five-game season in which he posted 40 tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception, an additional pass defensed and a forced fumble.

  • Could miss rest of 2024 season

    General manager Ryan Poles relayed Sunday that Brisker (concussion) "wasn't making the progress we wanted," which is what caused the Bears to place the third-year safety on injured reserve Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to being placed on IR, Brisker had already missed the Bears' previous four games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 5 against the Panthers. The 2022 second-round pick has evidently struggled to go through the league's five-step concussion protocols, and even though the earliest he could return from IR would be Week 15 against the Vikings on Monday, Dec. 16, Poles noted that the Bears are, "Going to slow...and allow[ing] [Brisker] to take his time to come back.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Bears placed Brisker (concussion) on injured reserve Thursday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Brisker entered concussion protocols following the Bears' Week 5 win over the Panthers, which has prevented from playing in each of Chicago's last four games. Now that he's been placed on injured reserve, Brisker will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 15 against the Vikings on Monday, Dec. 16 the earliest he can return. Elijah Hicks will continue to serve as the Bears' starting strong safety alongside free safety Kevin Byard.

    Brisker (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Brisker has missed the Bears' last three games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 5 against the Panthers. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reported earlier Wednesday that Brisker is unlikely to play Sunday against the Patriots, and his absence from practice to begin Week 10 prep seemingly supports that notion.

  • Unlikely to play this week

    Brisker is not expected to clear the five-step concussion protocol before Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Brisker last played Week 5, and he hasn't made enough progress in his recovery from the concussion at this point to put himself on track to play Week 10. Elijah Hicks would likely be in store for another expanded role at safety if Brisker misses his fourth straight game Sunday.

    Analysis: Brisker was unable to practice all week and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a concussion sustained in the Bears' Week 5 win over the Panthers.

    Brisker (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Brisker has been sidelined since he began suffering from concussion symptoms the Monday after their Week 5 win over the Panthers. It's not clear if the Penn State product is making much progress in his recovery, but he'll need to show he can practice and be cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to action. Considering the situation, he may be on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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).

  • Potential to be elite IDP

    Brisker averaged 104.5 tackles and 15 games played during his first two years with the Bears.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Concludes second season in Chicago

    Brisker posted eight tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

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.

    Brisker (groin) is questionable to suit up against the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brisker compiled a whopping 17 stops in last Sunday's win over Detroit, but he also picked up a groin injury. The safety logged an LP/DNP/LP progression from Wednesday to Friday, leaving his status in the air for Sunday's contest in Cleveland.

  • Takes step backward

    Brisker (groin) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Brisker logged a limited practice Wednesday, so this is clearly a step in the wrong direction for the second-year safety, and a late-week downgrade usually doesn't bode well for a player suiting up on game day. Brisker will try to get back on the field Friday to help increase his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Browns.

    Brisker is expected to remain Chicago's starting strong safety after posting 104 tackles in 2022, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: In addition to his impressive tackle totals, Brisket also had four sacks, three interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 15 games played. After the Bears revamped their defense in the offseason, Brisker may be even more effective on what is potentially a much-better unit.

  • Standout rookie year

    Brisker recorded 10 tackles in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 104 tackles, four sacks, three interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 15 games played.

    Analysis: After Chicago selected Brisker in the second round of the 2022 draft, he proved to be an immediate impact player. Although he averaged nearly seven tackles per game, his tackle production was at its best from Week 11 on. He also had three interceptions during a five-game span between Weeks 4 and 8. A strong case can be made that he should be one of the top safeties off the board in 2023 IDP drafts. He's under contract through 2025.

    Brisker recorded a sack and seven stops in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Although Brisker has an interception and four sacks on the season, his IDP value has mostly come from his production as a tackler. He's recorded at least six tackles in six of his last seven games. As a defensive back, he's become a high-floor fantasy option.
