As the Chicago Bears face off with the New York Giants in Week 12, it appears they will have starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky available to help.

Chicago's Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Rams raised a lot of questions. The reason for that was simple — Trubisky did not finish the game.
Down 17-7 with the clock winding down, Trubisky was on the sideline talking to head coach Matt Nagy. Meanwhile, with the game still very much in reach, Chase Daniel led the offense.
This brought up a lot of questions. The big one was simple — was Trubisky benched? Because he didn't show any signs of an injury on the sideline.
Nagy cleared the air after the game, saying that Trubisky had a hip pointer.
This brought into question if he would be available for Week 12. However, he practiced in full on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday according to the tweet. So it appears that Trubisky is more than healthy enough to go.
Trubisky and the Bears have been wildly disappointing in 2019. Chicago is just 4-6 to start the year, after many considered them serious Super Bowl contenders.
Meanwhile, in nine games Trubisky has just 1,580 passing yards. He also has nine touchdown passes compared to four interceptions and two fumbles. His inability to move the offense has frustrated fans all season long.
However, he still shows glimpses of being a solid NFL quarterback. One that can help lead a team to victories. With him being deemed healthy enough to play in Week 12, maybe he can start flipping the script. A win against a poor Giants team could be exactly what Trubisky and the Bears need to turn things around.
Hopefully for them, it's not too late.
