Chicago Bears starting safety Jaquan Brisker missed most of the 2024 regular season following a concussion in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. The young safety only played in 5 games during his third season on the team.
Brisker has shown in all three seasons that he can be a star safety for the Bears defense. Brisker got at least one forced fumble, a sack, and an interception in his first three seasons with Chicago. The biggest question that is looming is whether Brisker stays healthy moving forward in 2025. Will Brisker be able to get back to the level he was before his injury?
During an interview on Tuesday at the NFL coaches meetings, Bears head coach Ben Johnson provided the media and fans with an update on the situation regarding the Bears starting safety.

Having Brisker back on the team is a huge help for Chicago. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will be able to bring the best out of him without question. Hopefully, Brisker can stay healthy moving forward as we inch closer to the 2025 regular season.
