Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky suffered a shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of his team’s win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but it does not sound like he is in danger of missing Week 12.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Bears are “optimistic” Trubisky will be under center when they take on the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

Trubisky was listed as having not practiced on Monday, but the injury report was just a formality with the Bears having the day off as a team. There has been no indication that the shoulder injury is anything serious.
While he threw for just 165 yards and two interceptions against Minnesota, Trubisky did enough to put his team in a position to win. He may need to play a bit better in a tough road spot on Thursday.
