Injuries put more pressure on Dennis Allen, Bears defense to simply survive in 2026

This piece is largely offseason speculation about the Bears defense heading into 2026 rather than a hard injury report with clear timelines or severity. Coby Bryant and Kyler Gordon are both cornerbacks, so the direct fantasy impact is confined almost entirely to IDP leagues and to the Bears' team defense (DST) outlook. If either misses time, it would weaken the secondary, potentially inflating opposing WR/TE fantasy production against Chicago and making the Bears DST a riskier, more matchup-dependent play. For IDP formats, any absence removes tackle/coverage production and opens opportunities for backup corners (e.g., depth pieces like Tyrique Stevenson or draft additions) to see increased usage and IDP value.
