Overview
- The Chicago Bears activated left tackle Ozzy Trapilo from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Sunday, clearing him to return to practice after rupturing his patellar tendon in January.
- Trapilo took part in limited, individual drills at Sunday’s practice and did not yet resume full padded or team reps as coaches manage his return.
- Once removed from PUP, Trapilo cannot be returned to that list this season, meaning any major setback would require placing him on injured reserve.
- His activation instantly changes the unsettled left-tackle competition that includes Braxton Jones, Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills Jr., and will make upcoming padded practices and preseason work decisive.
- The team also processed injury settlements for K.C. Eziomume, Kyron Hudson and Gervarrius Owens, and backup RB Kyle Monangai left practice with a right-knee issue that needs an MRI.
