The Bears kicking competition appears to be back on.
The Bears gave Cairo Santos, who kicked for them for two weeks in 2017, a tryout and, according to ESPN, expect to sign him on Sunday.
They haven’t asked Eddy Pineiro to do much in training camp. Through the first week, he didn’t try a field goal in front of media members. Saturday, coach Matt Nagy said that the Bears simply weren’t at the point in camp when they wanted to focus on special teams.
“We’re going to start putting these guys through some punting and special teams and field goal stuff and really get them moving,” Nagy said.
