The veteran passer exited the field with trainers on Monday, leaving the Titans awaiting medical updates on a key mentor expected to backup rookie Cam Ward.
The Tennessee Titans brought in Mitchell Trubisky for one reason this offseason.
He's expected to be the backup and mentor to young quarterback Cam Ward. He is here on a two-year, $10.5 million deal per Spotrac.
He is one of four quarterbacks currently on the Titans 90-man roster. The Titans have Ward, Trubisky, Will Levis and Hendon Hooker.
Trubisky is absolutely the frontrunner to win the backup quarterback job, barring anything unforeseen.
Something unforeseen did happen on Monday at practice.
Trubisky exited with a bicep injury and went into the locker room followed by a trainer.
Head coach Robert Saleh spoke about the injury at the team's press conference. He didn't seem very worried, noting how he's always an eternal optimist.
"Then Trubisky is getting looked at for his bicep," Saleh said. "Think we're good, but again, I'm the eternal optimist. So, we'll let you guys know tomorrow."
Trubisky has experience as a starter and a backup in this league.
He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2017 after playing college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He was the starter in Chicago from 2017-2020.
When his rookie deal expired, the Bears chose not to re-sign him. Trubisky joined the Buffalo Bills as their backup to none other than Josh Allen. He did get to work with the current Titans' offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, when he held the same role with the Bills.
After one season with the Bills, he got the opportunity to be a starter again with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Trubisky started the first four games, and then Kenny Pickett took over.
Pickett then started 12 games for the Steelers the following season, and Trubisky transitioned into a more backup role.
Trubisky returned to the Bills to back up Allen once again in 2024 and 2025. Daboll was no longer there as the OC, as he was the head coach of the New York Giants at the time.
He is one of the many players with ties to Daboll who is now on the Titans. His familiarity with Daboll's offense is extremely valuable, especially when the Titans have a player like Ward who is still learning the scheme.
While Saleh wasn't very concerned about the severity of Trubisky's injury, the head coach said more information would be available on Tuesday.
This will be an injury to keep track of as the Titans continue preparing for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Titans and Seahawks will have a joint practice session on Friday.
