The preseason is to Mitchell Trubisky as water is to a young plant.
In 2019, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy made the bold choice to not play Mitchell Trubisky in the preseason at all. While that may have been a good idea on the surface, it certainly didn’t work out for them. Trubisky went from an 11-3 record as a starter to 8-7, and the Bears offense looked absolutely stuck in the mud against Green Bay in Week 1 on prime-time TV.
