Bears lose LT Ozzy Trapilo to ruptured patellar tendon

The Chicago Bears have advanced in the playoffs following a dramatic comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers. However, the win came at a cost, as linebacker T.J. Edwards and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo sustained significant injuries. Edwards is out for the remainder of the postseason due to a broken leg. Trapilo suffered a ruptured patellar tendon, ending his postseason run as well. Trapilo was injured late in the fourth quarter, shortly after the two-minute warning. Initially a second-round pick in 2025, Trapilo became the starting left tackle in Week 11. With Trapilo out, Braxton Jones, who recently returned to practice from injured reserve, might be available for the divisional round. The Bears will face either the Los Angeles Rams or the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend.
