The team announced Saturday that Trubisky will be the starter for the game against the Carolinas on Sunday.

Trubisky will start in place of Pickett, who remains in the protocol after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter against the Ravens. In practice, Trubisky had split first-team reps with Mason Rudolph, who was subsequently upgraded from doubtful to out.

Trubisky said he was looking forward to the chance. I'll be prepared to leave. I had a great week of practice. I'm ready to start again. The mind is prepared to go. We'll take care of the football, we'll move it and be smart, and if all guys just do their jobs, feel good about this week.

Trubisky was benched at halftime of a Week 4 loss to the New York Jets after starting the first four games of the season.

He has completed 63.3% of his passes this season.

Trubisky said to protect the football. I made some really good throws. I have to take care of the football, especially in the red zone, so we can come away with points. I'm excited to get that chance this week.

A tie with the Detroit Lions in Week 10 of the 2021.

Whether it's starting the game or coming into the game, I have experience coming in. I'll be ready for anything. I am ready for it.
