Trapilo (knee/quad) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Trapilo was limited in practice all week due to knee and quad injuries. It's possible the rookie second-rounder could have played Sunday, but he will be sidelined for Week 18 and get extra rest ahead of the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Theo Benedet will draw the start at left tackle in Trapilo's absence.

Rotowire
Trapilo (knee/quad) was estimated to be a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Trapilo has taken over at left tackle since Week 12 but seems to have picked up a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The fact that he was estimated to have practiced at all still bodes well for his ability to play in Week 18 against the Lions.

Bears' Ozzy Trapilo: Starting at LT in Week 12
Rotowire
In the absence of Theo Benedet (quadriceps), Trapilo will start at left tackle against the Steelers on Sunday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Trapilo -- the Bears' second-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft -- was unable to win a starting spot out of training camp. However, he will make his first regular-season start Sunday due to Benedet's injury and with Braxton Jones (knee) on injured reserve.

Bears' Ozzy Trapilo: Windy City bound
Rotowire
The Bears selected Trapilo in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 56th overall.
Trapilo is colossal at 6-foot-8 and 316 pounds with tons of experience at both tackle spots in college. He never committed a penalty in his senior season for Boston College in 2024 despite starting all 12 games. The height can work against him a bit as defenders can get under him, and he's susceptible to power rushers due to being 316 pounds. Regardless, Trapilo should be an option at right tackle for the Bears sooner than later.
