Bears Linebacker, T.J. Edwards and Left Tackle Ozzy Trapilo Out for Season After Injuries Suffered in Playoff Win.

Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards broke his left leg and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo injured his patellar tendon during the 31-27 playoff win over the Packers on Saturday.

Coach Ben Johnson stated that it's likely that both players will be out for the rest of the season, as they would need significant time to recover from their injuries. This development is particularly concerning given Edwards' crucial role in the team and Trapilo's recent growth into a starter.

Edwards, who has been one of the Bears most reliable defensive players throughout his three seasons with them, suffered his injury on a non-contact play during the second quarter. He was carted to the locker room with his entire left leg wrapped after suffering the injury.

Trapilo, on the other hand, hopped onto the sideline after hurting his knee in the final minutes of the game as the Bears drove to take the lead. The rookie had worked his way into the starting lineup midseason and proved himself reliable as a starter by the end of the season.

Despite these setbacks, Bears tight end Cole Kmet expressed confidence in Johnson's guidance, stating that he has been "monumental" in his life so far.

With Edwards and Trapilo out for the season, the Bears may consider activating tackle Braxton Jones from injured reserve ahead of their divisional round game against the Eagles or Rams next weekend.
 
Man, this is a tough break for the Bears 🤕. It's like they're saying that sometimes you gotta let go of what you've worked hard for and accept it won't work out this season 😔. But on the flip side, think about how much time those two will have to reflect on their game and actually take care of themselves off the field? That's a valuable lesson right there - we often get so caught up in chasing wins that we forget to prioritize our own well-being 💪. And hey, Cole Kmet's confidence in Coach Johnson is a good reminder that even when things don't go as planned, having faith in your team and leaders can make all the difference 🌟.
 
😞 this is super unlucky timing for both T.J. Edwards & Ozzy Trapilo 🤕 they've been playing so well all season... and now this? 🚫 I'm gonna miss seeing those two on the field, hope they can get back healthy ASAP 💪 Coach Johnson must be trying his best to keep the team moving forward, but it's gonna be tough without Edwards' expertise & Trapilo's growth 😓
 
:(

ok so like, big bummer for the bears... T.J. Edwards is such a crucial part of their defense and Ozzy Trapilo was doin' pretty well as a starter too 🤕. I feel bad for those guys 'cause they gotta sit out the rest of the season now...

maybe the bears can activate braxton jones from injured reserve to fill in the gap though? 🔥
 
man this is a bummer 🤕 especially with TJ Edwards being such a key player on defense he's like the backbone of the team and now he's out for the season I feel bad for him, that non-contact injury can be super unlucky 💔. Ozzy Trapilo too, he was looking good as a starter and now his season is all but over 🤦‍♂️. And to make matters worse, it looks like they might have to sit out Braxton Jones too 🙅‍♂️. I don't think they can afford to lose another starter on both sides of the ball 💸. It's gonna be tough for them in the playoffs without those guys 🤯
 
Ugh, not again 🤕... Like, seriously can't a team just have one injury-free season? 😩 T.J. Edwards and Ozzy Trapilo, two of my fave Bears players, are done for the year 🤘. I mean, Edwards was having an amazing game till he broke his leg on a non-contact play 😲. And Trapilo's patellar tendon just gives out in the final minutes? That's just rough 💔.

I'm so glad Cole Kmet is sticking up for Coach Ben Johnson tho 👏. He deserves it after all those wins this season 🎉. And now, with Edwards and Trapilo out, I'm kinda worried about their chances against the Eagles or Rams next weekend 😬. Maybe activating Braxton Jones from IR will help? 🤞
 
This is getting ugly for the Bears 🤕. I mean, you can't replace guys like T.J. Edwards and Ozzy Trapilo mid-season, it's just not gonna be the same defense out there. Coach Johnson should've been more proactive in terms of player management, considering injuries were already starting to pile up towards the end of the season... 🤔

Now, it looks like they're gonna have to rely on Braxton Jones, who didn't exactly have a stellar season under his belt 🤦‍♂️. I'm not saying he can't step in, but come on, Bears, you gotta be more proactive when it comes to injury prevention and player development... 💸

It's also got me thinking, is this what we call for in the NFL? Just accepting that injuries are gonna happen and letting players suffer through seasons instead of making smart moves to mitigate that risk? 🤝 It's a tough call, but I think Bears fans deserve better than to see their team struggle with key injuries like this... 😬
 
🤕😬 Just saw the news about T.J. Edwards and Ozzy Trapilo getting hurt in that playoff win... it's a tough break for the team, especially with these guys being key players 🙅‍♂️. I feel bad for Cole Kmet who always seems to be the one who bails out his teammates when they need him most 🤝. On the bright side, maybe Braxton Jones will get some extra playing time and show us what he's got 💪?
 
🤕😬 Bears are losing key players 🤕 Ozzy Trapilo's growth was impressive 💡 T.J. Edwards is a crucial part of the team 👊 Coach Johnson needs to make some tough decisions now 💭 Maybe activating Braxton Jones would be the way to go 🔄 I hope both players recover from their injuries soon ⏰ We need them back for the playoffs 💪🏈
 
😔 Man, this is like, a tough pill to swallow... But let's take it as an opportunity to think about our own resilience in life. We all know someone who's struggled with an injury, whether it's physical or mental. And we're all here, feeling the pain and uncertainty. 🤕 But Cole Kmet's words just hit me hard - his coach has been "monumental" in his life so far... That means guidance, support, and help when we need it most.

We gotta remember that our journey is not always easy, but it's in those dark moments that we discover what we're truly made of. T.J. Edwards and Ozzy Trapilo might be out for the season, but they'll come back stronger... We all will too! 💪 The Bears might need to make some tough decisions, but sometimes it's necessary to shake things up and try something new. That's when we discover our true potential. 🔓
 
🤕 This is a huge blow to the Chicago Bears' playoff run... I mean, you're talking about two key players here, Edwards and Trapilo, who are basically the backbone of their defense and offense respectively. Edwards was always so reliable on the field, it's a shame he got hurt like that - non-contact play? That's just heartbreaking. And Trapilo's growth as a starter is huge for them, they're gonna miss him big time in the next few weeks.

Coach Johnson's decision to likely put both of these guys out for the season is definitely understandable, recovery from injuries takes time and I don't want to see either player rush back too soon and risk making things worse. The Bears are gonna have to get creative with their lineup now... I think they might consider activating Braxton Jones - he's been on injured reserve for a while now, it'll be interesting to see how they fit him into the starting five.

This is just one of those moments where you wish you could fast forward and skip all the injuries that happen during playoffs. But at the same time, it's also a reminder of how physical the sport is and how much risk players take every time they step onto the field...
 
😩 omg u guys i'm literally dyin over here these 2 players are soooo important to the team edwards is like the heart of the defense and trapilo was killin it on the left tackle spot now we're stuck with braxton jones who's got potential but he's still a rookie 🤔 i mean what if they don't come back for the playoffs? that would be soooo disappointing 💔 anyway ben johnson better have a solid recovery plan for edwards or trapilo 'cause cole kmet can only do so much 😂
 
😞 this is a huge blow to the Bears' defense. T.J. Edwards was a rock for them all season and now he's out with a broken leg... that's just devastating 🤕. And Ozzy Trapilo, who had been playing some great football lately, is done for the year too. The team really needs him at left tackle.

It's gonna be tough to replace those two guys, especially in the playoffs when every game feels like a battle. They might try and get Braxton Jones back on the field soon, but it's not gonna be the same without Edwards' leadership and Trapilo's solid play.

You can tell that Cole Kmet is a great kid, but this team needs these guys to stay healthy ASAP...
 
Umm, hold up... a non-contact play? That doesn't sound right 🤔. I mean, I know injuries can happen in a split second, but a left leg injury without any contact? Sounds fishy to me. Shouldn't we be getting the details on this one? Where's the footage? Who saw the tackle go down? This is a crucial part of the season and now T.J. Edwards is done for the year... I need some answers 📰.
 
Ugh 🤕 this is not what we needed! Losing T.J. Edwards and Ozzy Trapilo for the whole season is a huge blow to the team's chances... I mean, they were our best defensive players. What was going through those coaches' minds? 🙄 Non-contact play and then carted off on a stretcher? 😱 and Trapilo just hopped off the field like it didn't hurt that much?! 🤯 And now we're gonna have to hope Braxton Jones can step up... I'm not convinced. 😐
 
Aww man, this is a tough break for the Bears 🤕. Losing T.J. Edwards' game sense and Ozzy Trapilo's starting streak will definitely be felt. I mean, those guys were clicking on all cylinders just last week 😩. Coach Johnson gotta make some tough decisions now, considering activating Braxton Jones or going in another direction. Hopefully, these injuries aren't a sign of bigger problems? 🤞 The Bears are already gonna have to grind it out with their roster and we can't afford any more losses...
 
man this is getting crazy, first they're gonna sit edwards on IR, now trapilo's out too... that's like 2 huge losses for the team 🤯 and i'm not sure how they can recover from these injuries in just a few weeks... ben johnson should think about starting braxton jones instead of trying to rush him back from IR... cole kmet's confidence in coach johnson is nice, but we need results on the field now 💔
