LOS ANGELES — When it was clear the Bears would lose their last gasp for relevancy Sunday — a 17-7 loss to a deeply flawed Rams team — the Bears added injury to insult.
Backup quarterback Chase Daniel took the field with 3:31 to play and the Bears down 10. The team reported that starter Mitch Trubisky, whose final four possessions produced 35 yards and one first down on 12 plays, had a hip injury.
Afterward, both coach Matt Nagy and Trubisky himself detailed the injury. Trubisky said that he hurt his right hip on the last drive of the second quarter, received treatment at halftime and spent the second half trying to keep it loose.
