Bears coach Matt Nagy was just trying to throw the Saints a curve and give the Titans something to think about when he inserted Mitch Trubisky at quarterback on a wildcat play in the first quarter Sunday.
And somehow, it blew up on him.
Not only did Trubisky get a modest three-yard gain on a first-and-10 option run, but Trubisky — as it turned out — suffered a shoulder injury on the play and could be out a while. The Bears have arranged workouts for fringe quarterbacks Kyle Sloter and Jake Rudock this week, so it’s likely Trubisky’s return is not imminent.
