LANDOVER, Md. — For just the second time in his six seasons as the Bears’ kicker, Cairo Santos was out Monday against the Commanders.
He injured the quad muscle in his kicking leg Sept. 28 against the Raiders and finished that game, but was unable to do kickoffs. He appeared to be progressing toward playing, but the Bears made him inactive and went with Jake Moody.
Moody capped their opening drive by making a 47-yard field goal from the right hash mark and hit from 48 yards later in the first quarter.
