LANDOVER, Md. — Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro kicked with a pinched nerve in his right knee and vowed to keep playing through the pain.
Pineiro suffered the injury in the weight room Friday, and the team pulled him from kickoff duty in the 31-15 win over the Redskins. Pineiro went 4 for 4 on extra points, missed a 44-yard field goal and closed with a make from 38. He hobbled to the sideline after each one.
“I felt it on every kick,” he said. “I’ve gotta muscle through it. A lot of people play through pain.
