Ozzy Trapilo injury and recovery

Overview

Chicago Bears offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo has progressed through recovery from a severe patellar tendon rupture sustained in January.

Initially, team officials noted that his recovery was exceeding medical expectations, with offensive line coach Dan Roushar describing his progress as ‘unbelievable’ given the difficulty of the injury for high-mass linemen.

By August 2026, Trapilo was officially activated from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. His return to practice occurred seven months after surgery to repair the torn tendon, ahead of the expected timeline and impacting the team’s depth chart competition at the left tackle position.
