The Bears placed Trapilo (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo will miss the remainder of Chicago's postseason run due to a patellar injury in Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers. He was replaced at left tackle by Theo Benedet versus Green Bay, and the Bears also activated Braxton Jones (knee) from IR on Tuesday, in preparation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Rams.

Trapilo suffered a patellar injury in Saturday's wild-card win over the Packers and won't return to action this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo managed both a knee and quad issue over the past two weeks and missed Week 18 against Detroit, but he was able to suit up Saturday. However, he was hurt in the second half, and his injury will prevent him from playing again in the postseason regardless of how far the Bears advance. Theo Benedet entered at left tackle after Trapilo's departure and seems likely to start for Chicago next weekend in the NFC divisional round.

Trapilo (quadriceps) practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card round game against Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo missed Week 18 and was limited in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, but he's back to full health in time for Chicago's playoff opener. He's on track to draw his usual start at left tackle versus the Packers on Saturday.

Trapilo (knee/quad) was limited in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Bears returned to practice Wednesday after holding a walkthrough session Tuesday, in which Trapilo was also listed as limited. The starting left tackle was also limited in practice prior to being held out Week 18. Meanwhile, backup tackle Braxton Jones (knee) has been a full participant since having his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday.

Trapilo (knee/quad) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo was limited in practice all week due to knee and quad injuries. It's possible the rookie second-rounder could have played Sunday, but he will be sidelined for Week 18 and get extra rest ahead of the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Theo Benedet will draw the start at left tackle in Trapilo's absence.

Trapilo (knee/quad) was estimated to be a limited practice participant Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo has taken over at left tackle since Week 12 but seems to have picked up a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The fact that he was estimated to have practiced at all still bodes well for his ability to play in Week 18 against the Lions.

In the absence of Theo Benedet (quadriceps), Trapilo will start at left tackle against the Steelers on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trapilo -- the Bears' second-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft -- was unable to win a starting spot out of training camp. However, he will make his first regular-season start Sunday due to Benedet's injury and with Braxton Jones (knee) on injured reserve.
