The Chicago Bears got a big return to their roster this weekend as it was announced that the team has activated offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo from the physically unable to perform list, and he was spotted working during Sunday's practice.
Trapilo suffered a ruptured patellar tendon just seven months ago back in the team's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers in January, and is now back on the field just seven months later. Trapilo has not returned in a full capacity just yet, as he was captured on video returning to individual drills but has not yet returned to full team activities or drills.
The Bears will certainly take a cautious approach to getting Trapilo back on the field, as they ramp him back into action, but Sunday's return and activation off the PUP list is the first big step to getting him back on the field in a much sooner than expected time.

— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) August 16, 2026 Chicago currently has a wide-open competition at the left tackle position, where they currently have veterans Braxton Jones, Kiran Amegadjie, and Jedrick Wills battling it out among them. Trapilo's return to the lineup will be an interesting wrench thrown into the competition, as he took over late last season, starting at left tackle in Week 12 of the 2025 season, and was a consistent presence on the offensive line until his energy.
