The Bears are the rare team with two placekickers in their building.

Monday night, they might have to use their backup one.

Cairo Santos went 4-for-4 in the Bears’ win against the Raiders a week ago but felt a sharp pain in his quad in the third quarter and was taken off kickoff duty for the rest of the game. He wasn’t spotted during the practice period open to media Tuesday. The Bears don’t have to submit an injury report until Thursday.

Jake Moody, whom the team signed to their practice squad last month, said he’ll be ready if he’s called upon against the Commanders.
