The Chicago Bears completed an unbelievable comeback victory against the Green Bay Packers to win 31-27 in the wild card round of the postseason, storming back down 18 points at halftime in the biggest come-from-behind victory in franchise history. It didn't come without consequence, however.
The Bears suffered a couple of significant injuries, including rookie tackle Ozzy Trapilo, who exited the game late during the final offensive drive. It turns out his injury could be more significant than initially realized. Head coach Ben Johnson spoke with the media after the game and indicated Trapilo suffered a ruptured patellar tendon that will sideline him the rest of the postseason and possibly into next season.
Trapilo, a second-round pick out of Boston College, stabilized the left tackle position in the middle of the season after taking over for Theo Benedet. Trapilo showed promise in pass protection and had been coming into his own during the final stretch of the regular season.
With him now sidelined indefinitely, Benedet will now likely slide into his place at left tackle for next weekend's divisional round matchup. The Bears may also activate veteran Braxton Jones, who has been on injured reserve since October with a knee injury.
