The Chicago Bears have released offensive lineman Nate Davis, ending his underwhelming tenure with the team. Davis, who signed a three-year, $30 million contract in March 2023, struggled with injuries and performance issues, playing in just five games this season. He was ruled out for a game against the Patriots due to a back injury and had been a “healthy scratch” for another matchup earlier in the season. Over his time with the Bears, Davis started only 13 of 26 possible games, leaving the team halfway through his contract.
This move follows other recent changes for the Bears, including the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, as the team faces ongoing struggles on offense. Head coach Matt Eberflus expressed that the decision to part ways with Waldron was a well-thought-out move aimed at improving the team’s performance.
Currently sitting at 4-5, the Bears are enduring a tough season, having failed to score an offensive touchdown in their last two games, a first since 2004. They have been outscored 66-27 in their last three losses and have allowed six or more sacks in each of the past two games, marking their worst offensive stretch in recent memory.
