The Chicago Bears activate left tackle Ozzy Trapilo off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, returning him to the team’s active roster and practice, the team announces. Multiple reports say he takes part in training camp activities following his time sidelined.
Context includes Trapilo’s recent injury history. One outlet reports he makes his first practice appearance since January, after tearing his patellar tendon during the wild-card round playoff win over the Green Bay Packers in January. Bears general manager Ryan Poles previously indicated the injury could keep Trapilo out “deep into next …,” according to one report. With Trapilo back, coverage describes a potential impact on the left tackle competition and rotation along the offensive line.
While the outlets align on the activation and his return to practice, they differ mainly in emphasis: one focuses on the roster move wording, another highlights a visual look at practice, and others frame his comeback as adding a “wrinkle” to camp competition.
