Bears bring in former 49ers kicker Jake Moody to challenge Santos after shaky start against Vikings

Bears Sign Jake Moody to Bolster Kicking Competition

The Chicago Bears are taking steps to enhance their kicking game by adding former San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody to their practice squad. This move comes on the heels of a less-than-stellar performance from current placekicker Cairo Santos, who missed a field goal attempt during the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings and came dangerously close to missing another.

Santos’s struggles in the Bears’ first game have prompted the front office to seek additional options at the position. The decision to bring in Moody reflects a desire for a more competitive atmosphere surrounding the kicking duties, as the team looks to solidify its special teams heading into the season.

Moody’s Recent Struggles

Jake Moody, once a promising talent with the 49ers, faced challenges during his stint in San Francisco. His inconsistent performance ultimately led to his release from the team just days ago. While Moody’s arrival may not have been the solution Bears fans envisioned for replacing Santos, it certainly adds a layer of competition that could benefit the team moving forward.

The Bears are now poised to evaluate Moody’s capabilities as they work to stabilize their kicking situation. With the pressure mounting on Santos to perform, the competition could serve as a catalyst for improvement, ensuring that the Bears can count on consistent scoring as the season unfolds.
