Bears rookie safety Jaquan Brisker will miss an extended period of time with a right hand injury, head coach Matt Eberflus said Saturday night.
Eberflus said the Bears were “hopeful” that Brisker would return before the season opener on Sept. 11, but that the team should find out more information soon.
Brisker hurt his hand in the Bears’ preseason opener against the Chiefs on Aug. 11 but didn’t feel the injury until he woke up the next morning, the coach said.
“You know, sometimes you wake up with these hand injuries and it just shows up,” he said.
