The Detroit Lions have figured out their backup kicker spot... for now. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Lions will be signing Michael Badgley to their practice squad.
Badgley served as the Chicago Bears kicker on Sunday as an emergency replacement for Cairo Santos, who was dealing with a personal issue late in the week. Badgley tried out for the Bears on Thursday, signed on Friday, then proceeded to go 4-for-4 on field goals Sunday against the Giants, with makes from 22, 29, 35, and 40 yards away. Despite the dependable performance, the Bears cut him on Monday.
