It’s been a rough year to be Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Not only has the third-year quarterback had to deal with shoulder and hip injuries, but he’s not even close to living up to expectations as the potential franchise quarterback in Chicago.

But if there’s anything positive to take out of these last two games, it’s that Trubisky has looked much better than in previous weeks, including three weeks ago when he led the Bears to the worst first half in the modern era.

“We’ve all put in a lot of time and energy and hard work to get where we’re at, we’re not where we want to be,” said coach Matt Nagy, via the Sun-Times. “But I’ll say this: The last two weeks… he has without a doubt gotten a lot better at the quarterback position. Decision-making, throws — where he’s at the last two weeks has been a lot better.”

While Trubisky isn’t close to living up to the expectations the Bears had for him or those he’s had for himself, you have to acknowledge that he’s looked much better over these last two games. And Nagy hopes that, if Trubisky can go Sunday, it carries over into three games.

“I’m going to go back to what I really like — and what I’m sticking to and what I believe in — is the last two weeks, he’s growing in the right direction,” Nagy said. “So that’s where we’re at and … we want to put a good week together, get him healthy and hopefully get him out there this weekend to do it again.”

Trubisky appears to be recovering quickly from a hip pointer he suffered Sunday against the Rams, as he’s been a full participant both Wednesday and Thursday in practice.

While Trubisky is officially listed as day-to-day, all signs point to him starting Sunday against the Giants, where the Bears will be looking for him to continue his positive performance.
