Bears starting guard Nate Davis doubtful to play vs. Bucs

CHICAGO -- The Bears downgraded starting right guard Nate Davis to doubtful for Chicago's Week 2 matchup at Tampa Bay.

Davis is dealing with the death of a family member, which occurred Saturday morning, a source told ESPN. The familial situation has been ongoing throughout the offseason and is a reason the guard missed multiple practices throughout training camp and the preseason, the source said.

The Bears are expected to start either Dan Feeney or Ja'Tyre Carter in Davis' place against the Buccaneers. Feeney has predominantly played left guard or center throughout his career but has 64 starts in 97 career games between his time with the Chargers and Jets.
