Trubisky Reflects on Bittersweet Homecoming, Seeks Redemption with Bills

On August 17, 2025, former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky made his return to Halas Hall, the team's practice facility, as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky, who is now competing for the backup QB role behind reigning MVP Josh Allen, went through drills and shared second-team reps with fellow Bills backup Mike White.

The visit to Chicago brought back a mix of emotions for Trubisky. While he cherished the "nostalgic good times" from his tenure as the Bears' franchise quarterback, including the team's 12-4 season and NFC North title in 2018, he acknowledged that his time in Chicago did not ultimately work out as planned. Trubisky, the No. 2 overall pick in 2017, is now focused on securing the backup job in Buffalo and potentially earning another chance to be a starting QB in the NFL.

Despite the ups and downs of his career, Trubisky remains grateful for his time in Chicago, describing it as a "privilege" to be the franchise quarterback, especially in a city like Chicago. As he looks to the future, Trubisky hopes to one day return to Soldier Field with his son, showing him the place where his NFL journey began.
