Bears cut veteran guard Nate Davis in latest change to struggling offense

Changes keep coming for the Chicago Bears offense amid their disappointing slide.

The team announced it released guard Nate Davis on Wednesday.

Davis, the team's highest-paid offensive lineman, made two starts to open the season before he was benched. He has not appeared in a game since Week 5. For the season, Davis played 131 snaps over five games.

The oft-injured guard represents a swing and miss for general manager Ryan Poles. Chicago signed Davis to a three-year, $30 million contract, including $19.25 million guaranteed, in 2023 to help stabilize the middle of the line. For the money, the Bears got 13 starts from the 28-year-old.

As with all players released after the trade deadline, Davis is subject to waivers. Any team claiming the guard would take on the remaining $3.9 million fully guaranteed portion of his salary.

Chicago signed offensive lineman Jake Curhan to the active roster from the practice squad to take Davis' spot.
