Chicago Bears have a new scapegoat for Caleb Williams' struggles

Caleb Williams has struggled throughout his first couple of games with the Chicago Bears and much of it lies on the offensive line.
On the Scoop City podcast, The Athletic's Adam Hoge revealed who the Bears are blaming for this. In their eyes, Nate Davis is the problem. He hasn't been practicing and now, he is a reliability out on the field. The team is fed up, and they are trying to find a replacement. Unfortunately, the Ryan Bates injury has put them in a very bad situation.
"Since training camp started, it's been a disaster. Nate Davis is probably not a huge national story, but locally, it's been a big story for the last two years. He doesn't like to practice. The Bears are frustrated with him not practicing. And I think he was going to lose that starting job at right guard to Ryan Bates, but Ryan Bates got hurt. And last week, actually, Ryan Bates out-snapped Nate Davis in the opener in a rotation, but then Ryan Bates suffered another injury this week in practice and he's now on IR. So Nate Davis is out there by default. They got nobody else there to put in, even though I don't think they want to play him. The interior of the offensive line is probably the least sexy thing to talk about when it comes to football, but right now for the Bears, it's their biggest problem."
