There are a few worst-case scenarios for the Chicago Bears in terms of injuries and players that wouldn't be there. Caleb Williams would be number one. He's fine, by the way. He's okay. But there is another situation brewing here. As we welcome you back to Rahimi and Grody on 104-3 the score. Hope everybody is doing well. 312-644-67-67. Don't have many. many details on this and hopefully it will evolve throughout the day. But yesterday out at Hallis Hall, it would appear that Darnell Wright was dealing with some sort of right side, right arm injury for which he had to leave the field with head trainer Andre Tucker. Yeah.

Vinny Rotino 1:06

And the concern was it's the same arm that he had the UCL tear in, which you know, we s we hear UCL tear after we just spent forty minutes talking about baseball, and of course we're like, uh. But you know, it's not as bad in football. The tweet from Brad Biggs was nineteen hours ago now, and it says Bears will hope nothing is serious with Darnell Wright, no questioning his toughness and ability to play through pain and discomfort last season.

How does Wright’s past UCL tear affect his current health outlook?

Vinny Rotino 1:28

Remember he tore the UCL in his right elbow in the Dallas game and came back. Right. Right. But yes, it did look like that was the uh the same arm. Good for him for also throwing, you know, c some caution there when it comes to that that particular situation.

Mark Grote 1:43

Yeah, and it was d by the way, for whatever it's worth, it was Ozzie Tripillo who filled in for Darn All Wright last year at right tackle. It's uh it's a pillow. Oh, God. Yeah. When

Vinny Rotino 1:55

doesn't he say actually too in that?

Mark Grote 1:57

Yeah, it says condescending.

Vinny Rotino 1:58

Actually is hilarious.

Mark Grote 1:59

What's more condescending? Me saying that the Cubs have won the division in June last year, or Chris Emma trying to correct our pronunciation of trepillo, which was trepillo and trapillo. I did

Vinny Rotino 2:14

say trepillo.

Mark Grote 2:15

Yeah, everybody thought with the double L that it was Trepillo. But it's not Trepillo, it's Trepillo. But Chris Amiset it's a pillow.

Vinny Rotino 2:25

Well here's the funny thing.

Who could step in at right tackle if Wright misses time?

Vinny Rotino 2:26

It's not a double L. It's worse. Which

Mark Grote 2:30

makes

Vinny Rotino 2:30

it even worse.

Mark Grote 2:31

And Ozzy is O Z Z Y. Why by the way. Yeah. So it's

Vinny Rotino 2:35

like I'm thinking like Ozzy, like O Z Z I E, Tri T R A P I L L O.

Mark Grote 2:39

We all botched it. We did.

Vinny Rotino 2:40

We did, as a team. So no, the actually it's a pillow because there's an actually in there makes it funnier.

Mark Grote 2:45

It does. So let's just let's just go with that. But this is yeah, this is one of the the worst.

Vinny Rotino 2:49

Actually, I'm wrong right now.

Mark Grote 2:51

Oh, the the with everything going on at left tackle, you you couldn't afford to have maybe your best offensive lineman this side of Joe Tooney having any kind of setbacks, and maybe it's not even a big deal, but it's definitely a point of concern. The good news is, I guess, you do have guys that have been working out on other Theo Benedet has spent most of His time in training camp and even in these preseason games, working on the right side of the line. So do I trust Theo Benedet? So Yes, I do.

What other offensive‑line injuries are the Bears dealing with?

Mark Grote 3:26

If it's a game or two or whatever the case may be. And let's let's not even go there. Let's not even put that into the atmosphere. But that that is somebody that I would trust in that spot, but you just don't want to hear anything bad about Dart all right.

Vinny Rotino 3:39

No, and yes, we know that he is uh a man with toughness. There's no doubt about that. And by the way, did a did a cartwheel on that torn UCL.

Mark Grote 3:48

That's a great point. He is an athletic man.

Vinny Rotino 3:51

Covered five yards on the cartwheel. That's the real talent. But you we just can't have we c after all of the stress that the left tackle discussion from Ben Johnson had yesterday. Where he said it's still a hot spot for us. And that's essentially him saying, Yeah, we don't know who's starting here either

Mark Grote 4:10

A hot spot

Vinny Rotino 4:12

safety is also an issue. So given all of that, yeah, the last thing we needed to do was to hear Darnell Wright is also injured. Yeah,

Mark Grote 4:19

and it also Y'all

Vinny Rotino 4:20

better sage that offensive line room or something.
