Matt Nagy isn’t giving any early indication who will line up under center for the Chicago Bears next Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.
While it’s certainly a slight of hand on Nagy’s part, it’s also precautionary. With both Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) and Nick Foles (hip/glute) still nursing injuries, Nagy is waiting to see how both look as the week progresses.
Nagy told the media that the Bears “will get to Wednesday and see exactly where both these guys are at.” Although it appears that, at this point, Trubisky is the healthier of the two.
According to Adam Jahns, Trubisky has been throwing at Halas Hall and his right shoulder is improving following an injury back on Nov. 1, where he appeared for a single play against the New Orleans Saints.
Trubisky has missed the last two games with an injury that wasn’t as serious as initially believed. After Trubisky visited with a specialist in Los Angeles earlier this month, it was determined that he didn’t need surgery. The Bears didn’t believe the injury was worth placing Trubisky on injured reserve, which would’ve required him be out for a minimum of three weeks.
For now, Nick Foles remains on the #Bears’ media schedule for this week. It’s been changed before and I’m guessing they’d like to keep a QB change quiet for a bit.
But the word out of Halas Hall is that Mitch Trubisky has been throwing and his right shoulder is improving.

Trubisky was seen at the media portion of practice on Monday, where Foles wasn’t in attendance. That’s a good indication that it’ll likely be Trubisky under center against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.
We saw Mitch Trubisky at practice today.
We didn't see Nick Foles.

Even if both Trubisky and Foles are healthy, Nagy indicated that a switch at quarterback remains on the table, as the Bears are on a four-game losing streak in desperate search of a spark.
