PITTSBURGH — When Mitch Trubisky takes the field Sept. 11, it will have been 609 days since his last start, a Bears playoff loss in New Orleans.
A lot has changed since.
Trubisky left the Bears after the 2020 season and spent a redshirt year with the Bills, throwing only eight passes but learning at the feet of one of the league’s best quarterbacks. His gap year deodorized his Bears struggles enough that the Steelers signed him to a two-year, $14 million deal in March.
“I had a lot of growth off the field as well — becoming a father, getting married,” he told the Sun-Times on Tuesday, standing in front of his black and yellow locker.
