Chicago Bears Mailbag: The Trubisky panic, Harrison Smith and more

Nothing significant. The only one of note was an ankle injury to Tarik Cohen that knocked him out of the Seahawks game late. Head coach Matt Nagy later said it was a minor issue as Cohen was dancing in the locker room after the win. He’s back at practice now. Aside from that there’s only the minor ailments that are already known at this point.

@TylerLuxie - Predictions for this Sunday’s game at Arizona?

The Cardinals are going to do everything in their power to establish David Johnson in the ground game. If they try to throw with Sam Bradford or Josh Rosen with their somewhat limited mobility against this pass rush? It could be a massacre waiting to happen. On the other side, the Bears must be careful to throw too often against that Cardinals defense. They still have Chandler Jones and Patrick Peterson who can ruin your day. It may come down to which team runs the ball better.

@jtbcubs - It should never happen with their lack of success the last few years but any chance at all the Bears have a letdown this week vs a team that looks awful the first 2 games?

This doesn’t strike me as a Bears team that is getting cocky at all. They know they should’ve won against Green Bay and almost let it get away again versus Seattle. They smell an opportunity and are gaining confidence, but they’re also guarded against letting their foot off the gas during what could be a golden opportunity to actually get into the thick of the NFC playoff race. I expect them to be focused in Arizona.
