‘Healthy now,’ CB Desmond Trufant ready to replace Kyle Fuller

Bears fans may forever see new cornerback Desmond Trufant as the man who replaced Kyle Fuller after his surprising release last week. Trufant, though, isn’t intimidated by the situation.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for [Fuller],” Trufant, who signed a one-year deal Saturday, said on a Zoom call Thursday. “He’s done it at a high level for a long time — but this is the game. No matter where I’m at or what I’m doing, I’m trying to dominate.”

The 30-year-old former Pro Bowl player knows the scouting report on Fuller, though, and said he plays similarly.
