Byard tallied nine stops in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. After recording between five and seven tackles in six consecutive games, Byard has 20 tackles over the last two games. This is the first time all season the safety has stacked big games together. Although it's possible this recent level of production continues, it may still be wise to view Byard as a solid floor IDP with upside.

Byard tallied nine stops in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday. After recording between five and seven tackles in six consecutive games, Byard has 20 tackles over the last two games. This is the first time all season the safety has stacked big games together. Although it's possible this recent level of production continues, it may still be wise to view Byard as a solid floor IDP with upside.
Byard recorded 11 tackles in the Bears' 19-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Byard had posted between five and seven stops in each of Chicago's previous six games before his big game against the Patriots. Expect the safety to continue functioning as a high-floor IDP with occasional upside games.
Byard tallied eight tackles and a sack in the Bears' 29-9 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. Byard has recorded between five and eight stops in each of his last six games. The veteran has emerged as a solid-floor IDP option.
Byard recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 35-16 win against the Jaguars. Byard's pass breakup probably saved a touchdown, and he now has at least six tackles in all of his last five games. He's on pace for the third 100-tackle season of his career heading into the Bears' bye in Week 7.
Byard intercepted a pass and tallied six tackles in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Byard has recorded at least six tackles in each of his last four games, though he's gone over seven stops just once. He remains a high-floor IDP option.
Byard (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams. Byard was initially listed as questionable to suit up versus Los Angeles, but he's managed to gain clearance for Week 4. The starting safety has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of Chicago's first three regular-season contests, recording 19 tackles (12 solo) and one fumble recovery in that span.
Byard (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. Byard was a mid-week addition to the injury report Thursday, failing to practice that day, but he was upgraded to limited Friday and will head into Sunday's date as a question mark. The veteran safety has started all three games to open the season, recording 19 tackles (12 solo) and one fumble recovery on 100 percent of the defensive snaps.
Byard (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice session. Byard was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, but he appears to have picked up a back injury. Friday's final report will provide further context regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams. If Byard isn't able to suit up, Jonathan Owens figures to be the next man up as the starting free safety alongside strong safety Jaquan Brisker.
Byard tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Byard tied Tremaine Edmunds with the most tackles for the Bears against Houston. Over the last four seasons, Byard has posted at least 100 tackles, and this performance puts the safety on pace for that level of production after he recorded just two tackles in the season opener.
