The Bears came into training camp with a set offensive line — Braxton Jones, Teven Jenkins, Cody Whitehair, Nate Davis and rookie Darnell Wright from left to right. It was a significant advantage compared to Matt Eberflus’ first season, when the offensive line was in flux and formative from the start after signing tackle Riley Reiff and guard Michael Schofield on the eve of training camp.
But already that continuity has been altered, with both starting guards out. Teven Jenkins, making the transition from right guard to left guard, has missed the last two days of practice with an undisclosed injury. Right guard Nate Davis, signed to a three-year, $30 million contract as a free agent, has missed the last three practices with an undisclosed injury. Per coach Matt Eberflus’ policy, the Bears do not disclose training camp injuries unless they are long-term absences.
