Jaquan Brisker Out In Week 9

Jaquan Brisker Out In Week 9

one year ago

The Chicago Bears defense will be short-handed in a Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on the road on Sunday. Defensive backs Jaquan Brisker (concussion) and Terell Smith (illness) and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (knee) have been ruled out. Brisker suffered a concussion in Week 7 and will now miss his second straight game. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old safety will be ready to play in Week 10 on a short turnaround next Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers that had been rolling with Brisker in their starting lineups at defensive back prior to his injury in Week 7 must go in another direction for the second straight week. Duron Harmon will make another start in Chicago's secondary on Sunday.
