The Bears are bringing in another kicker, but coach Matt Nagy painted it as more of a precaution than a concern about Eddy Pineiro’s performance. Pineiro still appears to be his guy heading into the season, and new addition Cairo Santos is an insurance policy.
Nagy, speaking hours after his team endured a scare from what it said were nine false positive tests for coronavirus Sunday, wants to prevent a scenario where he’d have to scramble to find a kicker shortly leading up to game.
“It goes back to that contingency plan that we have,” he said.
