Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky left Sunday's game against the visiting Minnesota Vikings in the first quarter with a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury and was quickly ruled out. Head coach Matt Nagy said after the game that he does not believe the injury is season-ending but said he hopes to learn more within the next day or two.

Less than three minutes into the game, Trubisky was scrambling to his left when he was strip-sacked by Danielle Hunter. As he went down, he reached his left arm out to brace himself and hit the ground awkwardly. He remained down for a few minutes, then left the field and quickly headed to the locker room. The Bears announced later in the first quarter he would not return to the game, and Trubisky returned to the sideline in street clothes and a sling for the second half.

The Vikings recovered the fumble, but the turnover was negated by a holding penalty against the defense. Backup Chase Daniel entered and marched the Bears the rest of the way to the end zone, hitting Tarik Cohen for 10 yards and a 7-0 lead at the 7:44 mark. That would prove to be all the points Chicago would need, as the Bears' defense dominated in a 16-6 win. Daniel finished 22 of 30 for 195 yards and the touchdown.

Trubisky missed two games last season due to a right shoulder injury, also sustained against the Vikings. He was 2 of 3 for 9 yards before leaving Sunday.
