How Mitch Trubisky is approaching Thursday's more-important-than-usual preseason opener

Posted Aug 10, 2017
Mitch Trubisky ended Tuesday’s practice with an interception in the end zone, which “sucks,” as the No. 2 overall pick put it. The next time he takes a snap will be Thursday at Soldier Field in front of a crowd hoping to see, for the first time, why the Bears invested so heavily in him. “I’ll be excited, anxious to get out there on the field to show what I can do,” Trubisky said.
