Coach Matt Nagy said Friday that Trubisky (shoulder) isn't expected to be placed on injured reserve, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trubisky received word from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday that he won't need surgery to address his right shoulder injury, taking a long-term absence off the table. The Bears are still considering Trubisky week-to-week, but the fact that he isn't seen as a candidate for injured reserve hints that the team doesn't expect him to miss any time beyond its Week 11 bye.

Trubisky won't require surgery on his right shoulder and will continue undergoing rehab in Chicago, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Thursday to determine whether surgery would be necessary, and it appears the quarterback received good news during the appointment. The Bears are viewing Trubisky as week-to-week, so it wouldn't be surprising if he remained sidelined through the team's Week 11 bye.

Trubisky is scheduled to visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Thursday to gather more information about the right shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Saints, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garafolo reported Wednesday that the Bears expect Trubisky to miss at least a few weeks with the injury, which could be similar to the issue that resulted in him missing two games during the 2018 season. On that occasion, Trubisky was able to avoid procedures on his labrum and rotator cuff, but surgery apparently hasn't been ruled out this time around, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Trubisky will likely await feedback from Dr. ElAttrache before determining whether surgery is his best option, or if he can treat the injury through rest and rehab.

Trubisky is slated to miss "at least a few weeks" due to the shoulder injury he sustained this past Sunday against the Saints, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
On his only offensive snap after getting demoted during Week 4 prep, Trubisky injured his right throwing shoulder on a three-yard carry. With the expectation Trubisky will be sidelined for a bit, the Bears likely will call up Tyler Bray from the practice squad to serve as the backup to Nick Foles.

Trubisky suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to the Saints, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trubisky apparently got injured on his lone snap, a three-yard carry in the first quarter. The Bears have Tyler Bray on their practice squad as a likely replacement if Trubisky isn't healthy enough to serve as the backup quarterback this Sunday in Tennessee.

Trubisky will transition to a backup role Week 4 while Nick Foles handles the starting gig, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trubisky was benched during Sunday's game against the Falcons after an erratic first half, in which he completed 13 of 21 passes for 128 yards and a score (while also adding one rush for 45 yards). Nick Foles was efficient upon taking the field, and he led the Bears to a comeback win while tossing three touchdowns and a single interception, so it doesn't come as much of a shock to see Trubisky officially lose his job. It remains to be seen whether the 2017 No. 2 overall pick, who is scheduled to become a free agent in 2021, will get another chance to prove himself under center in Chicago.

Trubisky was replaced by Nick Foles after halftime of Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Field Yates of ESPN .
EDGE Analysis
Trubisky endured an inconsistent first half, completing 13 of 21 passes for 128 yards (6.1 YPA) and a touchdown. He also recorded a 45-yard rush in the second quarter. Nevertheless, the Bears entered halftime with a six-point deficit and opted to give Foles his first look in the offense. After the game, coach Matt Nagy declined to name a Week 4 starter for the matchup against the Colts as reported by Adam Hoge of NBC Sports reports.

Trubisky completed 18 of 28 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns along with two interceptions in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Trubisky was productive in the first half, throwing for over 75% of his total yardage and both touchdown strikes despite his typical inclination to fire ill-advised passes at times, but after the intermission, he threw for fewer than 50 yards and a pair of interceptions, nearly costing the Bears a victory. Regardless, he's thrown for multiple touchdowns in each game to start the season, and he has excellent matchups against Atlanta, Indianapolis and Carolina over the next four weeks, which may allow him to function as a top-24 quarterback during that time.

Trubisky completed 20 of 32 passes for 242 yards and three touchdowns while adding 26 yards on the ground in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After struggling through the first three quarters, Trubisky rewarded fantasy managers who started him by throwing three fourth-quarter touchdown strikes to pull out the victory for Chicago. Although there's no way to know if he'll retain the starting job for the long term, it would be a surprise if he wasn't under center in Week 2 against the Giants at Soldier Field,. However, he offers little consistent upside, making him useful only in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Head coach Matt Nagy announced that Trubisky will start Week 1 versus the Lions, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news was leaked a couple of days prior to the official announcement, but now it's set in stone that Trubisky will be afforded another opportunity to live up to his second-overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft. Nagy emphasized multiple times that Trubisky won the competition on his own merit, relaying that the quarterback improved his footwork, accuracy and command this offseason. Nevertheless, his performance in 2019 was uninspiring with 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over 15 games, and if he begins the year with the same caliber of play, Nagy could quickly shift to backup QB Nick Foles, who apparently had a strong camp as well.
