EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —Bears coach Matt Nagy said he’d be comfortable if quarterback Mitch Trubisky didn’t throw a pass in a preseason game this year.
Friday, he continued making that a reality, sitting his quarterback — and almost everyone else that mattered — in a 32-13 loss to the Giants.
All 11 defensive starters — 12, if you count nickel cornerback Buster Skrine — spent the game on the bench. All 11 offensive players did, too, including a few backup receivers and running backs, leaving the Bears to sort through their second and third strings even against the Giants’ starters.
