Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky underwent surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, according to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson.

The minor procedure, which Trubisky had just after the regular season ended, usually requires a couple of months of rehabilitation, Dickerson added.

Under that timetable, the quarterback would be ready to go for the start of Chicago's offseason program.

Trubisky is potentially entering a make-or-break campaign. Despite the quarterback's struggles in his third season, the Bears committed to him as their starter for 2020 in December.

However, general manager Ryan Pace added that Chicago is still contemplating whether to exercise the former No. 2 overall pick's fifth-year option. The team must make a call on the roughly $25-million option by May 5.

In 2019, Trubisky ranked 27th in touchdown passes (17), 32nd in yards per attempt (6.1), and 28th in both QBR (39.5) and passer rating (83.0).
