The Chicago Bears lost quarterback Mitchell Trubisky early in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Trubisky was sacked by Minnesota’s Danielle Hunter and fumbled, though the Bears recovered. Trubisky went to the sideline and was replaced by backup Chase Daniel for the remainder of the drive.

He was declared out for the game.
The Bears’ offense hasn’t excelled at any point this season, and they’re well aware of it. Still, they can ill afford to lose their starting quarterback for long. The 25-year-old had accumulated only three touchdowns this season compared with two interceptions for 579 total yards, though the Bears are 2-1 despite their mediocre offensive output.
