Chicago Bears backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky suffered a shoulder injury on his lone play during Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints, head coach Matt Nagy announced Wednesday, according to Sean Hammond of the Northwest Herald.

"It's unfortunate and I know that he's bummed out," Nagy said. "He kind of landed on it weird."

Trubisky made a 3-yard run on the play during the first quarter.

The 26-year-old, who missed Wednesday's practice, is now expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks, reports Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

"At first, he didn't really even know," Nagy said. "It was something that was lingering and hurting as the night went on."

Trubisky missed one game last season due to a left shoulder injury. He underwent offseason surgery to repair the issue.

The 2017 second overall pick started the season as the Bears' No. 1 quarterback, but Nick Foles replaced him after Week 3. Trubisky completed 59.3% of his pass attempts for 560 yards and six touchdowns against three interceptions over the team's first three games.

Chicago brought in quarterbacks Jake Rudock and Kyle Sloter for a workout on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Signal-caller Tyler Bray is also on the club's practice squad.

The Bears are currently on a two-game losing streak, but they remain positioned for a playoff push at 5-3. They'll face the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings over the next two weeks before a Week 11 bye.
