Davis did not practice Tuesday after suffering an undisclosed injury. He signed with the Bears in early August and was competing with second-year WR Dane Sanzenbacher for a roster spot. Per the report, Davis felt “a little behind” after joining the team and only lined up as an outside receiver in exhibition games after being accustomed to playing in the slot.

Davis told the Tribune Wednesday morning that the Bears had released him. He was battling with second-year receiver Dane Sanzenbacher who flashed his skills in 2011 as an undrafted rookie. Davis wasn’t able to practice on Tuesday after suffering what the Tribune is calling an “undisclosed” injury. He’s been a fan favorite in his time in Chicago and would have been a solid contributor on special teams if he stayed healthy. Sanzenbacher added 27 catches for 276 yards and three touchdowns a season ago. He showed he can play special teams this season, so that made Davis expendable. Marshall, Bennett, Hester and Jeffery will serve as the top four receivers while Eric Weems and Dane Sanzenbacher will be the likely backups. It was tough for Davis to get things going in camp because he was brought in so late, but the Bears made the right move keeping Sanzenbacher. It would have been a big mistak...

The Bears announced the moves on Monday, while placing Thomas on the reserve/left team list. Davis spent his first six years with Chicago and played for Detroit last season. He has 92 receptions for 1,095 yards and five touchdowns in 103 games to go with 72 kickoff returns for 1,400 yards and 69 special teams tackles. Thomas was trying to make the squad as a reserve receiver and special teams player after signing a one-year deal with the Bears in March. A 2008 second-round draft pick by the Washington Redskins, he was cut in 2010 and made three catches last season with the Giants.

Much like Thomas was expected to do, Davis will make his contribution largely on special teams, where he thrived with the Bears in 2009 and 2010 after failing in his role as a featured wide receiver in 2008. His highlight in the 2010 season came in week 16 against the New York Jets, when he successfully defended a Jets fake punt, changing the course of the game and leading to a Bears victory. He also had a few highlights as a receiver too, catching a huge third down pass in overtime in the 2006 Divisional Playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks and making a sideline endzone catch on a pass from Kyle Orton with 11 seconds left to take the lead in a 2008 game against the Atlanta Falcons (a game the Bears ended up losing). It’s a move that a large part of the Bears roster appears to love, as they know how much pride Davis brought ...

WR Rashied Davis, who signed with NFC North rival Detroit last off-season has reportedly signed with the Chicago Bears today. Chicago Tribune reporter Vaughn McClure first reported the move Monday afternoon. He was let go last off-season after the Bears opted to sign WR Sam Hurd. That turned to be a big mistake after what happened to Hurd last season. Davis was always a likable player for the Bears. He helped on special teams in any way he could as a blocker as well as a returner. He was always a dependable receiver as well, making big catches when the team needed him most. In six seasons in Chicago, the 33-year old appeared in 92 games making 15 starts. He reeled in 88 balls for 1,032 yards and five touchdowns. He will battle second-year receiver Dane Sanzenbacher, who has yet to prove his worth on special teams for a likely sixth receiver spot. Glad to see a familiar face back in Chicago. He should be one of the better sixt...

Davis returns to Chicago after spending last season with the Lions. The eighth-year veteran was with the Bears from 2005-10 and was a key special-teams contributor. The signing of Davis comes one day after Bears WR Devin Thomas announced on Twitter that he had decided to retire from the NFL at the age of 25.

The veteran is primarily a special teams player but spent time at cornerback and wide receiver in his previous stint with the Bears from 2005-2010. He played in 11 games with the Lions last season and caught four passes for 63 yards. Davis, 33, played in all 16 regular-season games with the Bears from 2006-2010.

"I think they should get their (butt) off the sideline," Davis said. The NFL said this week it will pay trainers to monitor play and help team medical staffs spot potential concussions. The trainer, who'll be selected jointly by the NFL Players Association and the league, will work from the press box area and won't have the authority to remove players from the game. Davis, the Lions' wide receiver and special-teams standout, said he doesn't think independent trainers are needed, even if they're there to protect competitive players, who may want to remain in the game despite an injury, from themselves. "They don't play," Davis said. "They don't know what it's like to play the game. That's just my opinion.
