Kevin Byard Shares Intel with Patriots Ahead of Return to Face Bears

New England Patriots safety Kevin Byard is preparing for a homecoming as his team travels to face his former squad, the Chicago Bears, on Thursday night at Soldier Field. Byard, who earned first-team All-Pro honors with Chicago last season after leading the NFL with seven interceptions, admitted to sharing as much personnel intel with New England coaches as possible. Byard is still seeking his first interception of the 2026 season.
