Chicago Bears activate Ozzy Trapilo from PUP list
The Chicago Bears have already activated LT Ozzy Trapilo from the PUP list after he suffered a ruptured patellar tendon back in January.
The Chicago Bears have reinstated left tackle Ozzy Trapilo from the physically unable to perform list, the organization disclosed on Sunday. The 2025 rookie had solidified his position as the team's starting left tackle during the second half of his inaugural season. However, in January, he suffered a ruptured patellar tendon following a wild-card playoff victory against the Green Bay Packers, which raised concerns about the impact on his career.
Despite the setback, the Bears remained optimistic about Trapilo's recovery and projected return, albeit indicating he would miss the majority of the 2026 season. It appears he is making faster progress than anticipated. With Trapilo now cleared to practice, he becomes a key player in the ongoing competition for left tackle, alongside Braxton Jones, Kiran Amegadjie, and Jedrick Wills Jr. General manager Ryan Poles indicated during a recent interview with Hoge & Jahns that Trapilo might return before the conclusion of training camp this month.
The offensive line, in particular, benefits significantly from this development, given the uncertainty surrounding the left tackle position.
