Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams expressed excitement over left tackle Ozzy Trapilo's return to practice after recovering from a torn patellar tendon. Originally expected to miss most of the 2026 season, Trapilo was activated off the physically unable to perform list ahead of schedule. His absence during training camp intensified competition among candidates for the left tackle position, including Braxton Jones and Kiran Amegadjie. While Trapilo's progress is promising, it remains unlikely he will be ready for the season opener, leaving the starting role up for grabs among the other players.
