Britton was handed a four-game suspension Tuesday, ESPN Chicago's Jeff Dickerson reports. It's unclear what provision Britton violated, but the suspension certainly won't help his chances of finding work ahead of training camp. The free-agent lineman appeared in 10 games for the Bears in 2014.

Britton was waived by the Bears on Sunday, Michael Wright of ESPN.com reports. Britton was felled by a hamstring injury for a large portion of training camp, and the team evidently wasn't confident with his health even after he suited up for Thursday's preseason finale. His wealth of NFL experience and ability to help out at guard or tackle should allow him to find a depth role with another team at some point in 2014.

ESPN Chicago suggests Eben Britton could unseat J'Marcus Webb as the Bears' starting right tackle. Coach Marc Trestman said Britton is having a "very productive camp," and at the very least will be Chicago's sixth or seventh offensive lineman to open the year. It's also a reminder the Bears' front five remains a weakness. Webb has been unsteady in his transition, and Britton has been quite poor in the NFL.

Bears agreed to terms with G/T Eben Britton, formerly of the Jaguars. The 2009 second-round pick has experience at both guard and tackle, but has proven to be severely injury prone, and was benched in favor of undrafted rookie Mike Brewster at left guard last season. Britton allowed five sacks in just 273 snaps. He'll compete for a reserve role along the Bears' typically unsettled offensive line.

Free agent G/T Eben Britton worked out for the Seahawks. Britton started 30 games over four years with Jacksonville, but proved to be injury prone and was benched for ineffectiveness midway through last season. He's not the answer to the Seahawks' leaky right side currently manned by John Moffitt and Breno Giacomini.

The Florida Times Union says impending free agent OL Eben Britton "absolutely" will not be back with the Jaguars as a starter in 2013. Britton started five games at left guard in 2012, and he was absolutely destroyed, giving up five sacks. He was benched after Week 7 in favor of Mike Brewster. Britton has also been rather injury-prone over the course of his career since being the No. 39 overall pick in the 2009 draft. He ended the 2010 season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury before starting just three games in 2011 due to a back injury.

Jaguars LG Eben Britton has been benched in favor of Mike Brewster once again. Britton was benched at halftime in Week 4, got the starting job back for Week 5 and then was benched again ahead of Week 8. "I felt like we weren't getting what we wanted out of that position," coach Mike Mularkey said. "We felt like we needed a change and I thought Mike did a pretty good job." Britton's rookie contract is up after this season.

Jaguars OL Eben Britton and Mike Brewster will split snaps at left guard in this week's practice. After missing Weeks 1 and 2 with an ankle injury, Britton was benched in Sunday's loss, and will apparently have to earn his starting job back. Brewster is a rookie undrafted free agent.

Jaguars LG Eben Britton was benched at halftime of the Week 4 loss to the Bengals. The Jags gave up six sacks on the day and Britton looks like the scapegoat. He wasn't moving on his tender ankle well and rookie Mike Brewster finished out the game. Blaine Gabbert is on pace to get sacked 48 times this season after taking 40 sacks as a rookie.
