Gets cut loose Davis was released by the Bears on Wednesday.
Impact 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 late scratched 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.

Late scratch for Week 10 Davis (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New England.
Impact Davis wasn't on the Bears' injury report in the week leading up to Week 10. However, he appears to be dealing with a back issue, which is serious enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. Davis started at right guard in the Bears' first two games of the regular season, but Matt Pryor has started in the last six games after the former suffered a groin injury in mid-September.

Impact 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 are forced to exit Sunday's contest at any point.
