The Chicago Bears have gone from the NFC North’s penthouse to laughing stock as their 5-1 start was erased in the last month as they’ve dropped four straight in falling to 5-5.
Starting quarterback to start the year Mitchell Trubisky was benched in favor of Nick Foles but with injuries to both, the Bears are indeed perhaps looking to bring in another quarterback to try and help solve their massive offensive issues.
Field Yates of ESPN reported on Tuesday that the Bears, who are on their bye week, will be bringing in former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer for a tryout.

Kizer was a second round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017 but struggled mightily as they lost all 15 of his starts that season.
Kizer was then traded to Green Bay where he backed up Aaron Rodgers in 2018 and played in three games. He has not however played in any NFL games since despite spending 2019 as a member of the Raiders.
For his NFL career, Kizer has 11 touchdown passes and 24 interceptions. Stay tuned to see if he’ll get the opportunity to try and turn around his professional career and the Bears offensive woes.
