LAKE FOREST, Ill. (670 The Score) — Bears right guard Nate Davis didn't practice Thursday while he deals with a personal matter.
Davis missed the majority of training camp and the preseason with an undisclosed injury. He also wasn't present with the team during voluntary offseason workouts, only electing to join for mandatory veteran minicamp.
Davis, 26, signed a three-year, $30-million deal with the Bears in March and is slated to be the team's starting right guard, but Chicago's offensive line has worked in practice mostly without Davis. Ja'Tyre Carter, a second-year reserve offensive lineman, has worked in at Davis' place at right guard.
Davis has been impacted both by injury and personal matters, Bears general manager Ryan Poles said last week.
Bears safety Eddie Jackson (ankle), safety Jaquan Brisker (groin) and pass rusher DeMarcus Walker (calf) were each full participants Thursday, while linebacker Dylan Cole (hamstring) remained sidelined from practice.
The Bears open their season by hosting the Packers at Soldier Field on Sunday, with kickoff set for 3:25 p.m. CT.
