Report: Bears' Mitchell Trubisky to Miss 'A Few Weeks' with Shoulder Injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is expected to miss "at least a few weeks" with a shoulder injury according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. 

Garafolo previously reported that there was concern that there was "significant structural issues" in Trubisky's throwing shoulder: 

He suffered the injury on a read-option play in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Trubisky's only snap against the Saints was on Chicago's first offensive drive when he kept the ball for a three-yard gain before being tackled by Alex Anzalon. 

With Trubisky reportedly sidelined for a few weeks, the Bears are working out free agents Jake Rudock and Kyle Sloter, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

A Pro Bowler in 2018, Trubisky regressed in 2019. He threw for 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His completion percentage also slipped from 66.6 to 63.2.

Among the 34 quarterbacks with at least 200 passes, Trubisky ranked 27th in DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement), per Football Outsiders.

The Bears sent the 26-year-old a clear message this offseason. First they acquired Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Then they declined the fifth-year option on Trubisky's contract, thus making him eligible for free agency in 2021.

Foles has taken over as Chicago's starting quarterback since replacing Trubisky in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. 

If Trubisky isn't available this week, Tyler Bray could be signed from the practice squad to serve as Foles' backup. 

Chicago enters this week's game against the Tennessee Titans in second place in the NFC North with a 5-3 record.
