Veteran defensive end Marcus Davenport has been released from the Chicago Bears' practice squad, reportedly at his request. He recently made his season debut on Sunday, contributing one tackle in 12 snaps during the team's victory over the Jets. Davenport, a former first-round draft pick by the Saints in 2018, initially signed with Chicago in August.
His tenure with the Bears has seen limited production, with only 24 tackles and 3.5 sacks recorded in 15 games since 2023. The team may also see the return of second-year defensive lineman Shemar Turner, who is working his way back from a torn ACL that ended his rookie season last October.
