Analysis With only one preseason game left until a final projection, here's how it looks for the Bears based on the preseason games as well as practice performance.
The starting Bears lineup against Tennessee in the opener became clear once Nate Davis returned to right guard and Ryan Bates couldn't practice last week.
A rapid and unexpected recovery from whatever the injury is would be the only way. Underscore unexpected. When Matt Eberflus called Bates week to week, it meant a ramping-up period would be needed after before he can get on the field. There just isn't time. Unless Bates was so clearly better than Davis or center Coleman Shelton before his injury, then the verdict seems decided. There is always the possibility of a late camp injury in practice, and with Davis' injury past no one can rule this out. However, the starting lineup seems set.An earlier 53-man roster projection heading into training camp is now useless after they've been battling for a month to win jobs.
