The Chicago Bears could be without one of their starting safeties when taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday.
After self-reporting concussion symptoms, Jaquan Brisker did not make the trip with the rest of the team to London. However, he still has a chance to be cleared later in the week, per ESPN's Courtney Cronin.
Per Cronin, this is the third head injury Brisker has suffered in his professional career — the other two taking place in November 2022 and October 2023.
The likely culprit of the injury was a vicious hit Brisker put on Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble during the Bears' 36-10 win in Week 5.

After the hit, Tremble was immediately ruled out of the game with a concussion.
To play on Sunday, Brisker will need to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol by the end of the week.
UPDATE: Brisker has been officially ruled out for Week 6.
