The Chicago Bears were able to dominate over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. However, they might have to play their upcoming game in London without their starting quarterback as Mitchell Trubisky got injured in the process.
Thankfully, the injury he sustained in his shoulder doesn't seem to be serious enough to warrant serious concern. Matt Nagy said post-game that he believes Trubisky's injury isn't anything that serious.
Matt Nagy says he doesn’t think Mitch Trubisky’s shoulder injury is season-ending, but he doesn’t have a whole lot of info right now. #Bears

Trubisky only managed to throw the football three times before getting hit the wrong way on the shoulder. He then had to walk off the field and got replaced by QB2 Chase Daniel for the remainder of the game.

“That part is frustrating because he had a really good week of practice, and every week he's so excited to get back at it and really get this thing going,” he said, via NBC Sports. “…I want the kid to do really well. How many plays was it, six? I'm sure that part is frustrating.”
Fortunately for the team, they had a capable backup who was ready to play. Daniel came up huge for Nagy's Bears, completing 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 195 yards and a single touchdown. The Bears shouldn't have a lot of problems on offense with Daniel in the pocket.
However, Nagy will still prefer having his QB1 in the pocket at any time. All he can do at this point is pray that the injury isn't severe.
