Report: Chase Daniel 'More Likely' to Start vs. Lions Than Mitchell Trubisky

Chase Daniel is reportedly "more likely" to start at quarterback than Mitchell Trubisky for the Chicago Bears' Thanksgiving Day clash with the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the update Wednesday, noting Trubisky has a minor shoulder injury that might keep him out against the Lions because of the short week. If the game were Sunday instead, he would "probably play."

He's officially listed as doubtful on the team's injury report.

ESPN's Adam Schefter provided additional details:
