Whereas chatting with reporters on Wednesday, head coach Matt Nagy declined to call a starter for Sunday which leaves Foles, whom he described as day-to-day, a slim alternative to return to motion. If the tides do flip to Trubisky, nevertheless, Nagy appears fairly assured within the former No. 2 total decide and was impressed with what he noticed from him in apply whereas taking all of the beginning reps. 

“I believed he did job,” Nagy mentioned of Trubisky. “It was good to see him on the market and he regarded good. The tempo and the rhythm was good.”

If he’s going [to start], what I might say is that this, ‘I’ve all the boldness on the planet in him.'”

If Trubisky does get the nod, he’ll a minimum of be going up in opposition to a staff that he has some expertise with as he is confronted the Packers 5 occasions over the course of his profession.
