Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed what many fans were expecting all week when he announced quarterback Mitchell Trubisky would be starting Sunday evening against the Green Bay Packers.
Trubisky takes over for Nick Foles, who had been the starter since week four after replacing Trubisky, is still dealing with a hip injury suffered in the Bears last game against the Minnesota Vikings and has not practiced this week. Trubisky was dealing with his own issue after injuring his throwing shoulder when the Bears faced the New Orleans Saints a few week ago, but had been a full participant in practice.
Naturally, Twitter had many opinions and reactions upon hearing the news:
Maserati Mitch is back! https://t.co/PVUWJjafzH

Realistically, I am not expecting much but at least this makes me more excited for Sunday Night.
And Trubisky undoubtedly gives us a better chance to win at this point. https://t.co/iVas3IzhG0
