Outside linebacker Robert Quinn was the centerpiece acquisition of the Bears’ offseason. Quarterback Nick Foles still had to beat out Mitch Trubisky. Tight end Jimmy Graham is good but at 33 not what he used to be. And tight end Cole Kmet is a rookie.
Quinn is in his prime at 30, coming off an 11 1/2-sack season with the Cowboys, and signed to the most expensive contract — five years, $70 million. And he’s here to give the Bears a much-needed pass-rushing complement to Khalil Mack.
So the anticipation that Quinn will play Sunday against the Giants is pretty high after Quinn practiced Friday and seems mentally and physically ready to make his Bears debut.
