Overview
- Friday’s practice showed every Bears player participating in full and no one listed with an injury designation for the Week 2 game against the Vikings.
- Left tackle Ozzy Trapilo logged his first full practice since tearing his patellar tendon in January and is being reintegrated carefully rather than rushed back into a full starter role.
- Coaches plan to split snaps or use Trapilo as a backup early in his return to build his game speed and protect his repaired knee.
- Key contributors who were limited earlier in the week, including Darnell Wright, D’Andre Swift and safety Xavier Woods, are expected to be available without questionable status.
- Minnesota confirmed Carson Wentz will start at quarterback, which narrows Chicago’s game plan and makes the Bears’ restored depth at tackle and running back more immediately valuable.
