Trubisky is expected to be the Bears' starting quarterback Week 1 against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schefter's sources cited that Trubisky's "progression, leadership and overall performance" earned him the job, although Nick Foles made it a close battle. This was the likely outcome all along, as it's still Trubisky's team despite his unimpressive 2019 showing that resulted in 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over 15 games. Trubisky will likely be on a short leash with Foles as a backup.

Coach Matt Nagy confirmed Saturday neither Trubisky or Nick Foles will be listed as the starter before the team's Week 1 matchup against the Lions, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It seems like a bit of gamesmanship on behalf of the Bears, as Nagy did suggest the team will know who the starter is during that first week of practice ahead of Week 1. All indications from beat writers seem to lean toward Foles as the frontrunner, but only because of Trubisky's struggles throughout training camp. With two weeks left of the "preseason," it's possible the 2017 No. 3 overall pick could play his way into the starting lineup with a handful of solid practices.

Trubisky is taking turns during practice each day with Nick Foles as the starting quarterback, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news won't help fantasy managers make a decision as to which Chicago quarterback is the better fantasy option, and with no preseason games, there may not be clarity unless one of them begins to receive regular first-team reps. If he wins the job, Trubisky is likely to function as a low-end second quarterback for fantasy managers.

Trubisky (shoulder) led offseason workouts with teammates in the Chicago area, Bryan Perez of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trubisky had an interesting offseason, starting with January surgery on a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder. The Bears traded for Nick Foles a couple months later, then declined to pick up the fifth-year option on Trubisky's rookie contract. Coach Matt Nagy said his incumbent will take the first snap with the starting offense at training camp, but Foles will be given every opportunity to win the Week 1 starting job. Given the distinct possibility of a truncated preseason, Chicago's QB battle may be determined on the practice field. Whoever wins the job will be directing a passing attack with major question marks beyond No. 1 receiver Allen Robinson, though the Bears hope Ted Ginn and Jimmy Graham will be upgrades on 2019 starters Taylor Gabriel (free agent) and Trey Burton (Colts).

Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Trubisky (shoulder) has been "really, really good in the fact that he's taken this [competition] head-on," Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nagy has previously stated that the team's Week 1 starter will be determined in an open competition between Trubisky and Nick Foles, whom the team acquired for a fourth-round pick in a trade with Jacksonville in April. The Bears then declined to pick up Trubisky's fifth-year option, a hint that Foles is viewed internally as the frontrunner to beat out Trubisky in training camp and the preseason. The 25-year-old demonstrated a career-low 6.1 yards per pass attempt last season while leading one of the least potent offenses in the league. He's also recovering from January surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.

Trubisky (shoulder) will not have his fifth-year option picked up, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

This shouldn't come as a major surprise given the Bears' offseason acquisition of Nick Foles. While the fifth-year, $24 million option would have only been guaranteed for injury, it's still a tremendous financial commitment to a quarterback that has failed to live up to his draft-day expectations. The Bears have hinted it's still an open competition between Foles and the 2017 No. 3 overall pick, even suggesting Trubisky will take the first snap of training camp, but the former Jaguar appears to be the frontrunner at the moment based on this latest transaction alone.

Trubisky (shoulder) may not have his fifth-year option picked up by the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This seems rather obvious considering the Bears traded a fourth-round compensatory pick to the Jaguars for Nick Foles in what was billed by the front office as a means to "improve the competition" at quarterback, but it's still a relatively important note considering the team has until May 4 to make a final decision. If the Bears do surprisingly choose to opt in for the fifth and final year, Trubisky's 2021 salary would be projected to be around $24 million.

Trubisky (shoulder) will take the first snap whenever the Bears are able to practice, but coach Matt Nagy said it will be an open QB competition between the 25-year-old and Nick Foles, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, general manager Ryan Pace declined to comment on the team's impending decision on Trubisky's fifth-year option. The deadline to pick up the option is in early May, and while it likely would cost more than $20 million, the salary would be guaranteed for injury only. Trubisky is recovering from January surgery on a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, while Foles has returned to health after an injury-marred 2019 campaign in Jacksonville. The Bears traded a fourth-round pick for the 31-year-old quarterback, who subsequently agreed to reduced base salaries in exchange for player options to void his contract after either of the next two seasons.

Nick Foles' restructured contract suggests Trubisky (shoulder) has a shot to keep the starting job, according to JJ Stankevitz of NBC Sports Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears traded the Jaguars a fourth-round pick for Foles, who subsequently agreed to reduce his base salaries in exchange for a player option to void his contract after the 2020 or 2021 seasons. Trubisky is actually scheduled to have a slightly higher cap hit for the upcoming campaign, though Foles has incentives that ultimately could push him over the top if he gets considerable playing time. Bears GM Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy haven't yet commented on their expectations for a QB competition, or lack thereof. Trubisky is still recovering from January surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder.

General manager Ryan Pace reiterated Tuesday that the Bears are committed to Trubisky (shoulder) as their starting quarterback, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears may be committed to Trubisky for 2020, but Pace said the team hasn't decided on picking up the fifth-year contract option for 2021. The deadline for that decision is May 30, at which point the Bears expect Trubisky to be back on the field for spring practices. The 25-year-old quarterback is said to be making good progress in his recovery from January surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. A fifth-year option would cost approximately $24 million and would be guaranteed for injury only.
