The Chicago Bears are set to start Mitch Trubisky on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints
One of the bigger questions of the week is what would happen with Mitch Trubisky. Some fans are not the happiest with Trubisky so far this year, but there is no doubt that he is better than Chase Daniel. If the Chicago Bears want to hit their ceiling, they will need Trubisky to take a step forward and lead them there.
So, it is good news to hear that Trubisky will be healthy and able to start on Sunday against he New Orleans Saints.

As reported Trubisky will wear a shoulder harness. This may limit his ability slightly, but it should not matter much as the harness is on his non-throwing shoulder. Given Trubisky had a full week off, and then had a bye week, he should be good to go on Sunday with no excuse.
This is a huge game for the Bears. The Saints are 4-0 without Drew Brees, but they are even more banged up this week than weeks prior.
Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook are out of this game as well. The Bears defense should be in good position to make life tough for the Saints. All they need on offense is to keep the ball protected and possess the ball.
The team can win with ball control this week. It will be key for Trubisky to protect the ball. Trubisky also may be more prone to use his legs. The team wants to get their run game going, and his legs are a key to opening things up for others.
