Chicago Bears training camp is less than three weeks away, which means it’s time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest.
It starts at the most important position: Quarterback. And unlike the previous two seasons where Mitchell Trubisky was the unquestioned starter, that’s not the case this season.
Trubisky will have to win the starting job over veteran Nick Foles, who the Bears shelled out a ton of cash and a fourth-round pick in a trade with Jacksonville.
Although, things will remain similar with Tyler Bray serving as Chicago’s third-string quarterback.
Let’s take a look at the quarterbacks heading into training camp.
Mitchell Trubisky
For the first time since his rookie season, Trubisky won’t be the clear-cut starter heading into training camp. This season is Trubisky’s last chance to prove to the Bears that he can be a franchise quarterback, but it’s certainly an uphill climb for the former No. 2 overall pick.
While Trubisky is coming off his worst season as a pro and has been personally challenged by Matt Nagy to become an expert at reading defenses, Trubisky also has advantage over Foles. Considering this quarterback competition can’t begin until camp begins — and given the shortened or potentially non-existent preseason — a small sample size benefits Trubisky, who has previously worked with Bears skill position players.
