Fans are holding their breath as Jaquan Brisker’s health takes center stage following a concerning update from the Chicago Bears. The hard-hitting safety is now facing a major question mark after the news hit the airwaves. One thing’s for sure, though: Everyone’s hoping for a quick recovery.
Will the safety bounce back? It’s the kind of suspense that has us all glued to the news, praying for good updates and a speedy return.
Jaquan Brisker Placed on IR: Fans Send Love After Concussion Setback
The Bears just dropped a major update. Insider Ari Meirov broke the news on X (formerly known as Twitter), revealing that Brisker has been placed on IR due to the concussion he suffered in Week 5, over a month ago. The troubling part is that he’s still in concussion protocol. That’s a tough hit for a player known for his hard-hitting plays and defensive leadership.
As soon as the news dropped, fans flooded social media with their reactions, showing both concern and support. One fan expressed: “That’s awful, wishing him a speedy recovery from here on.”

Others expressed hope for Brisker’s swift recovery, with a fan saying, “Better safe than sorry. Hope he recovers quickly 🙏.”

The sentiment was echoed across the board, but some fans couldn’t help but make comparisons, with one questioning, “But yet Tua is playing,” referring to Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa’s ongoing battle with concussions.
The reality of concussions isn’t lost on fans either, with another stating, “These concussions become more frequent with each one. It’s not something that is a guess anymore.”
It’s clear that safety is a top priority for everyone involved.
Finally, one fan shared a heartfelt message: “Oh no, might’ve been the last game we saw out of him. Get well, sorry to hear it man 😔.”
The Bears and their supporters are all hoping for Brisker’s return to the field, whenever he’s ready.
Brisker’s Concussion Saga Continues
Brisker’s concussion recovery is turning into the NFL equivalent of a cliffhanger. The Bears safety remains stuck in concussion protocol, sidelined since October, and will now miss the rest of November after being placed on IR. That’s more than a month off-field — definitely not a quick fix.
Normally, concussions keep guys off-field for 1-3 weeks, but Brisker’s injury is sounding like a higher-grade hit. Chicago’s hoping the 25-year-old can return by Week 15 against Minnesota, but that’s still up in the air.
The Bears’ losing streak continues (three games and counting), which led to the firing of OC Shane Waldron. Players have reportedly voiced concerns and even had a few opinions on benching QB Caleb Williams, though that’s likely not happening anytime soon.
Chicago’s hoping Brisker’s extended rest will be the key to a full recovery. For now, they’ll have to power through without him.
