The Chicago Bears have a busy offseason ahead of them if they hope to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 NFL season. Unfortunately, it appears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will first have to work his way through a setback.
According to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson, Trubisky had surgery to repair an injury to his non-throwing shoulder:
Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky underwent surgery to repair the partially torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder shortly after the conclusion of the regular season. The typical recovery time for a minor procedure such as this is a couple of months.
The fact that it is not Trubisky's throwing shoulder is certainly an encouraging sign. Regardless, it is safe to assume that Chicago will be taking a cautious approach with his recovery this offseason.
Trubisky was seemingly poised to take that next step into becoming a bonafide franchise quarterback for the Bears following a promising 2018 campaign. Instead, he had seemingly regressed under center after struggling to find the end zone early on.
Although Trubisky was finally able to show some flashes of the talent that made him a former No. 2 overall pick, there is no question that they were far outweighed by his shortcomings.
Things will not get any easier now that he will be dealing with a shoulder injury this offseason. Meanwhile, head coach Matt Nagy will need to go back to the drawing board in order to come up with a new approach on offense that will actually justify the hype they attempted to generate before their disastrous 2019 campaign.
