Bears GM Ryan Poles ‘not too concerned’ about Nate Davis, Teven Jenkins injuries

The Chicago Bears have had some notable injuries through these first few practices of training camp, including to some starters along the offensive line. Which isn’t ideal when protecting quarterback Justin Fields is a top prioritiy.

The Bears are currently down both starting guards in Nate Davis and Teven Jenkins, who have been sidelined for the last few practices. But general manager Ryan Poles doesn’t sound worried about the state of the offensive line and injuries to Davis and Jenkins.

“We’re not too concerned with that,” Poles told reporters Saturday.

Poles explained it gives the team a chance to see other players, including Lucas Patrick and Ja’Tyre Carter, fill those gaps.

“Over the years, I’ve gone from panicking in those situations when guys aren’t practicing and you kind of frustrated about it, whatever the circumstance is,” Poles said. “But you also get the opportunity to see what the depth looks like.”

Update: Jenkins was back at practice for Saturday’s padded workout.
