Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted their daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about whether they buy Bears coach Matt Nagy's explanation of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky's hip injury that he suffered in a loss to the Rams on Sunday night. Will Trubisky start in the upcoming game against the Giants? The morning crew then discussed what the Bears' goals should be for the final stretch of the season and whether they're concerned that there's a divide in the locker room between the offense and defense. The guys also debated whether struggling kicker Eddy Pineiro is a long-term or short-term problem for the Bears before having a conversation about the future of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa following the season-ending hip injury that he suffered Saturday. What's more likely: Tagovailoa stays in school for another year or he falls to the Bears in the second round of the draft? Is there any way he isn't a first-round pick if he comes out next April? Finally, the crew discussed the struggles of the Bulls' starters, the success of the team's second unit and whether it's a coup for the front office or an indictment of the coaching staff that rookie center Daniel Gafford had 21 points in 20 minutes against the Bucks on Monday after being ignored since the beginning of the season.
