Bears safety Jaquan Brisker remained in concussion protocol Monday, 15 days after he was injured tackling Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble in a play that left both players concussed.
Brisker didn’t report concussion symptoms until the following day. He was left off the team flight to London for the Jaguars game and was ruled out for the game two days later.
Brisker is in his third year but has an extensive concussion history. He was put into protocol last year after reporting symptoms while he had an unrelated illness. He was concussed as a rookie, too. He missed two games in each of his first two seasons.
Brisker was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after a dominant Week 1 performance this year in which he had 12 tackles, one sack, one pass breakup and a game-sealing interception of the Titans’ Will Levis in the fourth quarter.
