  "account": "Chicago Bears offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo has made significant progress in his recovery from a torn patellar tendon sustained in January. He returned to practice in August and has been a full participant over the past week, showing signs of nearing a return to game action. However, he and Bears fans must wait another week for further updates. At a pre-practice press conference on September 26, 2026, prior to their Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Ben Johnson informed reporters that Trapilo is still not ready to play in an NFL game. Johnson was asked by Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times specifically about Trapilo's availability for Monday night's game, to which he simply replied, \"No.\" The Bears are not prepared to turn Trapilo loose, whether as a starter or a depth player.",
