LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have signed veteran defensive end Marcus Davenport and defensive back Deantre Prince.
The Bears also waived running back Coleman Bennett in moves announced Monday and waived tight end Nikola Kalinic with an injury designation.
Davenport played the last two seasons with Detroit, but was limited to 10 combined games due to chest and triceps injuries. The 29-year-old played the 2023 season with Minnesota after starting his career in New Orleans.
Davenport had a combined 10 1/2 sacks his first two seasons with the Saints and in 2022 played under Dennis Allen, now Chicago's defensive coordinator. Davenport has 25 sacks in 77 career games.
Kalinic suffered a knee injury in Chicago's preseason game against Cleveland on Saturday and did not return.

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies designated starter Michael Lorenzen for assignment Monday in a season in which the right-hander has gone 3-11 with a 7.08 ERA.
Lorenzen hasn't notched a win since June 27.
The Rockies signed the 34-year-old Lorenzen to a one-year deal in January. He was coming off a season when he struck out a career-high 127 in 141 2/3 innings for the Kansas City Royals.
“I love Mike. We developed a really good relationship,” manager Warren Schaeffer said Monday before a three-game series against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. “It’s just time.”
Righty Tanner Gordon will fill Lorenzen's spot in the rotation. Gordon has appeared in 17 games this season, including five starts, and has a 5.55 ERA.
“TG’s been awesome,” Schaeffer said. “Just keep doing what he’s doing.”
All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman was out of the lineup for a fourth game due to inflammation in his left shoulder.
“Still day-to-day,” Schaeffer said. “We'll re-evaluate tomorrow.”
To take Lorenzen's place on the roster, Colorado recalled righty TJ Shook from Triple-A Albuquerque. Shook has made four appearances with the Rockies this season, posting a 9.53 ERA in 5 2/3 innings. He has 11 saves for the Isotopes this season.
He's open to any sort of role.
“I've been told I’ve been a Swiss Army knife in the past. So whether that’s long relief or short, closing, starting, I’ve started a lot of games,” Shook said. “Honestly, it helps me stay on my toes. I kind of come in with the same mindset — just go out there and pitch, throw up some zeros and get ahead of guys.”
Shook, 28, was taken in the Rule 5 draft from the New York Mets last offseason.
“Shooky is in a position where he’s up and down right now,” Schaeffer said. “Those guys need to do whatever you ask them to do. That's their role. He accepts that with vigor.”
