What happened: The Chicago Bears activated offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo off the physically-unable-to-perform list. Trapilo ruptured his patellar tendon during the playoffs in January. His activation comes as Chicago opened the preseason with a 34-10 win over Cleveland.

Why it matters: Getting Trapilo back onto the field restores tackle depth for Chicago's offensive line as camp winds down, following earlier reporting that he could return before Bears camp ends. The Bears' preseason opener produced a lopsided scoreline, with Chicago's offense generating 34 points against a Browns defense that allowed as many.

By the numbers: Bears are 1-0 this preseason, outscoring Cleveland 34-10 in their opener. Browns fall to 0-1, having allowed 34 points in the loss.

What to watch: Watch for Trapilo's practice reps and snap count as the Bears continue preseason camp.
