The Bears are signing veteran kicker Michael Badgley, his agent tweeted, and it’s possible he will kick for them Sunday against the Giants. Cairo Santos missed practice Thursday and Friday for personal reasons, and coach Matt Eberflus listed him as questionable on the injury report.
If Santos does not travel with the team Saturday, the Bears are required to inform the public.
Badgley, 27, hit 18 of 21 field goals and made all 39 of his extra points after joining the Colts midway through last season.
Santos gave the Bears steadiness at one of their shakiest positions when he took the job in 2020.
