Report: Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky Undergoing Evaluations for Shoulder Injury
Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is undergoing evaluations to determine the extent of a right shoulder injury, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
The injury is believed to have occurred on Sunday in the Bears' 26–23 overtime loss to the Saints when Trubisky entered for just a single play that resulted in a three-yard run.
According to NFL Network, Chicago is concerned that there could be significant structural issues in his right shoulder.
The No. 2 pick in the 2017 NFL draft did not practice on Wednesday as he awaits further medical options.
Trubisky opened the season as Chicago's starter but was benched midway through Week 3 for veteran Nick Foles. His lone snap on Sunday was his first since then.
The North Carolina product is 26–18 in his 44 career starts. While he made the 2018 Pro Bowl, when Chicago went 11–3 in his 14 starts, the Bears were 8–7 in games Trubisky started in 2019.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the team is bringing quarterbacks Jake Rudock and Kyle Sloter for workouts following news of Trubisky's injury.
Chicago enters its Week 9 matchup with the Titans in second place in the NFC North, holding a 5–3 record.
