Ozzy Trapilo activation: what happened
The Chicago Bears activated left tackle Ozzy Trapilo (OT, CHI), per Adam Schefter. Trapilo ruptured his patellar tendon during the Bears' wild-card playoff win over the Green Bay Packers in January and had been on the active/PUP list since late July.
What this means for the Bears offense
A healthy Ozzy Trapilo at left tackle stabilizes the blindside for the Bears' skill players. If he holds the starting job, that is a quiet positive for whoever is lining up at QB, RB, and WR in Chicago. Patellar tendon ruptures are serious injuries, so monitoring his practice participation and whether he draws into the starting lineup makes sense before you factor him into any projections.
Roster moves to watch
Trapilo's return to the active roster is worth tracking for dynasty managers holding Bears pass catchers or backfield pieces. A full-strength offensive line changes the ceiling on the whole offense. Keep an eye on his status heading into the regular season.
