Chicago Bears reveal concerning update on key starter’s injury

Per Zack Pearson of Bear Report, Bears head coach Ben Johnson said on Wednesday that Santos is “ day-to-day” with the injury.

“Yeah, we will see as we go through the week as to how he’s feeling and looking,” Johnson said.

Johnson’s answer on Wednesday isn’t promising for Santo’s availability to play the Commanders. Santos has made six of his seven field goal attempts and all of his 11 extra point attempts this season.

If Sanots cannot play Washington, the Bears can elevate former San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody from the practice squad. The former third-round pick was signed to the practice squad in September and is looking for a chance to resurrect his NFL career.

Moody recently told Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times that he’s learning to have fun playing football with the Bears after dealing with serious pressure at the end of his tenure in San Francisco.

“Getting cut puts everything into perspective — what’s important in life, what’s not important,” Moody said. “You think it’s the end of the world. … We’re just playing football. Realizing that and being able to have fun with it while I’m doing it.”
