The Chicago Bears got good news regarding the status of starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on Wednesday.
Trubisky, who suffered a hip pointer against the Los Angeles Rams, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
The injury occurred near the end of the first half as he scrambled trying to buy some time to find an open receiver. Trubisky was kneed in the hip by Michael Brockers. He tried to play through it, and he even led the offense on an 80-yard scoring drive to open the third quarter, but eventually the injury began wearing on him.
Matt Nagy pulled Trubisky with less than four minutes left in the game with the Bears trailing by 10. At the time, many wondered if the decision was performance-based. But Nagy confirmed it was indeed an injury-based decision.
Right tackle Bobby Massie, who suffered a shoulder injury against the Rams, was also a full participant in practice.
There was an encouraging sign for linebacker Isaiah Irving, who returned to practice for the first time in three weeks, as he nurses a quad injury. Irving has missed the last three games, and he’s been relieved by linebacker James Vaughters.
