LAKE FOREST (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky may need surgery on the shoulder he injured early in the 2019 season, it was revealed Tuesday as General Manager Ryan Pace and Head Coach Matt Nagy conducted a wrap-up news conference at Halas Hall.
Trubisky dislocated his left shoulder in September when he hit the ground against the Vikings, and missed one game. He throws with his right arm.
Pace said it's possible Trubisky will need surgery during the off-season. Meantime, several members of the team also are expected to go under the knife.

December 31, 2019 Tuesday's news conference was a post-mortem of the Bears' disappointing 8-8 season. Team brass did not signal any significant changes, but later it emerged the Bears had fired four members of the coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich.
Ryan Pace: "Mitch [Trubisky> is our starter. We believe in Mitch and we believe in the progress he's going to make."
