Trubisky, who has yet to sign his rookie contract, said he'll report for training camp when it begins July 26, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The second overall pick of this year's draft, Trubisky is still the subject of negotiations between the Bears and his representatives, but the North Carolina product insists he'll be on the field for the first day of practice regardless of whether he's signed by that point. Furthermore, Trubisky said his agents aren't worried about getting a contract ironed out, as they have a great relationship with Chicago's front office. News that the 22-year-old isn't a holdout threat is obviously encouraging, as Trubisky is anticipated to need some seasoning before he's thrown into the fold. In fact, on that front, the rookie recently voiced his support of Mike Glennon being the Bears' starting quarterback until he's ready.
Trubisky told SiriusXM NFL Radio that he supports Mike Glennon as the Bears' starting quarterback, NFL.com's Marc Sessler reports. "Mike's the starter and I'm behind him all the way," Trubisky said.
Trubisky was notably selected second overall in this year's draft after the Bears traded a considerable amount of assets to move up just one pick. While that surely projects him as the team's starter in the long run, Chicago also signed Glennon to a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason. Given Glennon's experience -- which includes 18 career starts and 30 touchdowns versus 15 interceptions -- as well as the investment the Bears made in him, the 27-year-old is slated to start this season, allowing Trubisky to be groomed on the sidelines. After his small college sample size, that figures to suit Trubisky well, and the rookie is taking the right approach by supporting his veteran mentor, but it still wouldn't be surprising if the North Carolina product ultimately took Glennon's job if he were to falter during the regular season.
Cruz predominantly played in the slot during the Bears' offseason program, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reports.
Cruz has mostly played the slot throughout his career, but the Giants moved him outside last season to accommodate the addition of Sterling Shepard. The veteran got off to a nice start with 245 receiving yards in his first four games, but his usage and efficiency both cratered throughout the season as he ultimately finished with only 586 yards in 15 games. He's back at his natural position in Chicago, where Kendall Wright, Markus Wheaton (shoulder) and Josh Bellamy are also in the mix for targets alongside Cameron Meredith (thumb) and Kevin White. Cruz will have to battle for a role, as Meredith was productive out of the slot last season and Wright has mostly played on the inside the past few years.
