LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears released veteran guard Nate Davis on Wednesday, the team announced.

Davis, 28, is now subject to waivers. Any team that claims the offensive lineman is responsible for paying the remaining $3.9 million Davis is due in fully guaranteed salary.

The move comes three days after Davis was a late addition to the injury report ahead of the Bears 19-3 loss to the New England Patriots. Davis reported back tightness to team trainers on Sunday morning, was ruled out and sent home because "we don't want a guy standing on two feet with a back issue," according to coach Matt Eberflus.
