Bears Expected to Add Marcus Davenport to 90‑Man Roster

A low-cost reunion with DC Dennis Allen seeks to boost short-term pass-rush depth despite persistent injury concerns.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the Bears hosted Marcus Davenport on Sunday and are expected to sign him to their 90-man training-camp roster.
  • Davenport reunites with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who coached his most productive seasons in New Orleans and could tailor the role to his strengths.
  • Davenport has battled repeated injuries and limited snaps over the past three seasons, producing only a handful of sacks since 2023.
  • Chicago’s tight cap room of roughly $4.29 million makes Davenport an inexpensive, low-guarantee option meant for rotation rather than a long-term starting answer.
  • Local reports say the team also made corresponding roster moves (including adding DB Deantre Prince and waiving others) and that Davenport’s spot on the final 53-man roster remains uncertain.
