Bears' Kevin Byard: Returns to practice Wednesday
Byard (undisclosed) was not listed on Chicago's injury report Wednesday.
Byard was forced to miss practices for the first time in his NFL career due to what was diagnosed as a soft-tissue injury in mid-August. He appears to be fully healthy and ready to go for Week 1 against the Titans -- who drafted him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft -- on Sunday.

Bears' Kevin Byard: Misses practice Monday
Byard did not participate in practice Monday due to a soft-tissue injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Biggs notes that it's the first time that Byard has missed practice due to injury in his career. Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters Tuesday that the injury isn't serious, though Byard will unlikely play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs. After being traded by the Titans to the Eagles in October 2023, Byard signed with the Bears on a two-year, $15 million contract in March. The 2016 third-round pick will serve as Chicago's starting free safety and work alongside strong safety Jaquan Brisker (undisclosed) in the secondary.

Bears' Kevin Byard: In line to start at free safety
The Bears signed Byard to a two-year deal in March with the likely intention of replacing Eddie Jackson, whom the Bears released in February.
Between the Titans and Eagles last season, the veteran recorded a career-high 122 tackles in 16 regular-season games. Heading into his age-31 season in 2024 and having averaged over 100 tackles since 2020, Byard should be in line to continue piling up solid tackle totals, making him a valuable IDP option.
