Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears have had a lot of injuries throughout training camp, particularly to their offensive line. The Bears will have to wait a little while longer to see the synergy and continuity that head coach Matt Eberflus intends to develop between Caleb Williams and the rest of the offense.

Nate Davis, an offensive lineman who was injured during the first week of training camp, had a setback on Thursday while trying to make a comeback. According to Eberflus, who was ramping up following his groin injury, the 27-year-old “felt it again.” This was reported by NBC Sports Chicago.

Bears OL Nate Davis Experiences A Disappointing Loss

Matt Eberflus says they started to ramp up Nate Davis and then he "felt it again."

He's listing it as "week-to-week."

It now states that Davis is “week-to-week”. With the regular season beginning in just four weeks, this is a worrying report. Additionally, Davis is prone to injuries; during his first campaign with the Bears last year, he missed six games. He had missed five games in his last season with the Titans prior to signing with Chicago in the 2023 offseason.

Davis’s performance on the field last year was far from stellar, even when he was there. His PFF overall grade of 52.9 was the lowest it has been in four seasons.

Davis’ position as the current starting right guard is in jeopardy because of this.

Ryan Bates and Coleman Shelton were added by the Bears in the summer. Following Davis’ injury, the Bears started Shelton at center and shifted Bates to right guard. Eberflus hinted that even when Davis recovers from his injury, he may continue to be the backup.

“People argue that an injury cannot cause you to lose your work. That isn’t accurate, in my opinion. In my opinion, there’s a competition or the other player might take over if the player who is occupying that spot provides our squad a positive impression and benefits from it.”

Depending on how well Shelton and Bates play in the offensive line, it may or may not be the case. They may take over as the starting center-right guard duo for the foreseeable future if they can successfully guard Caleb Williams throughout the preseason.

Fans of the Chicago Bears get insensitive due to unfounded rumors about Micah Parsons.

The Dallas Cowboys signed wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to a four-year agreement for $136 million on Monday. NFL teams are expected to complete their first 53-man rosters by Tuesday afternoon.

Due to the impasse between Lamb and the Cowboys over a new contract throughout the summer and the fact that Dallas would soon have to pay pass rusher Micah Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott, the trade sparked absurd rumors on social media among Bears supporters.

Leading the Cowboys’ defense, Parsons is one of the NFL’s finest pass rushers, if not the best. According to all reports, Parson is a long-term Cowboys player, and there hasn’t been any indication of trade rumors from real NFL writers.

For this reason, what the Bears supporters accomplished on Monday is indicative of the development they still need to experience.

All it took for enthusiasts to start trying to get a Parsons’ Bears shirt was a wishful social media post from a fan account.

My First time breaking Chicago Bears news ever:

From a source in Halas Hall:

“I’ve been told the Bears trading for Micah Parsons is at the one yard line. Poles has the assets to make the move.”#bears

That was the tweet that set off the chain reaction. Not another Adam Schefter update. This is not a breaking Ian Rapoport story. Not even Tom Pelissero’s passing mention. Billy was the one who informed his 763 X followers of the news.

It is 2024. Caleb Williams might be the Bears’ long-awaited franchise quarterback. As a result, Bears supporters must cease taking everything they read or see on social media as gospel. Not even Caleb Williams’s re-posting (and subsequent removal) of a fan account mentioning the Parsons rumors was significant.

Ryan Poles is not about to trade for no damn Micah Parsons. But, if he does, the #Bears are winning the Super Bowl!

To put it simply, just improve. It was enough for all Bears supporters to lose their minds due to the club’s previous ineptitudes, but now that the team is at last acting rationally and making progress, it’s time for us fans to be more careful about the things we fall for on social media.
