Lack of downfield threat hurting Mike Glennon and Bears' offense

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Mike Glennon is under intense scrutiny for obvious reasons: Glennon plays the highest-profile position in professional sports, he turned the ball over three times in Week 2, and Glennon's backup, Mitchell Trubisky, happens to be the second overall pick of the 2017 draft.

Take a look at the Bears' roster -- if you dare.

Trubisky is the only backup that might -- and notice, I wrote might -- raise the level of play on offense.

The rookie showed some encouraging glimpses in the preseason; the most notable was having the accuracy and arm strength to move outside of the pocket and challenge a defense vertically.
