John Fox: Unsure Mitchell Trubisky gets first-team reps at Tennessee

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears coach John Fox said it's too early to tell if rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will receive any playing time with the first team in Sunday's third preseason game at Tennessee.

"We haven't talked about that," Fox said. "Obviously we're very, very early. We're not even into preparation for the Titans yet. We'll meet on that. We'll talk, and we'll keep you guys posted."

The Bears have protected anointed starter Mike Glennon at every turn since drafting Trubisky second overall last April.

To this day, Chicago insists there's no quarterback controversy, but is there a way to get Trubisky some first-team reps without offending Glennon (guaranteed $16 million in 2017)?
