EDGE Analysis

Davis was waived by the Bears on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' time in Chicago will come to an end halfway through his current three-year, $30 million contract. According to Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Charlotte product called in with a surprise back injury Sunday morning, which was why he was a late scratch for the game against New England. Davis has missed several weeks for a multitude of reasons over the last 1.5 seasons, and ultimately only started 13 games for the Bears since signing with them last offseason.

Davis has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New England with a back injury.
EDGE Analysis
He wasn't on the Bears' Week 10 injury report, so the back issue may have cropped up following Friday's practice. Davis started at right guard in the Bears' first two games of the season, but Matt Pryor has since supplanted Davis in the lineup.

Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
In the second season of the three-year, $30 million deal he signed with the Bears in March 2023, Davis lost his starting role at right guard to Matt Pryor earlier this season and no longer looks to be viewed as the first guard off the bench. Instead, Bill Murray will be the Bears' choice to step in at left guard or right guard if either Teven Jenkins or Pryor is forced to exit Sunday's contest at any point.

Davis (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Sean Hammong of Shaw Local reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered an injury during practice July 27 and ended up sitting out for a week. However, he's back on the practice field Sunday, so the issue doesn't appear to be serious. Davis may be worked back into practice cautiously given the amount of time he was sidelined.

Davis (undisclosed) departed from Saturday's practice early due to an injury, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Matt Eberflus characterized the injury as a "strain" but didn't indicate which area of Davis' body was hurt. Injuries were an issue for the offensive lineman last season, as he played in only 11 games due to separate ankle and foot issues. The severity of his current issue isn't yet certain, but if he's able to recover relatively quickly, Davis is expected to open the regular season as Chicago's starting right guard.
