Bears’ DJ Moore Returns as Kicking Controversy Simmering Ahead of Saints Matchup

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for their upcoming clash against the New Orleans Saints, and the news is positive for fans eager to see star wide receiver DJ Moore back on the field. After a brief hospital stay following Monday’s game, Moore is set to play, providing a significant boost to the Bears’ offense as they aim to extend their three-game winning streak.

Kicking Woes Continue for Chicago

While the Bears welcome back Moore, they will be without their regular kicker, Cairo Santos, who is still dealing with a persistent thigh injury. This opens the door for Jake Moody, who recently made a name for himself by stepping off the practice squad to successfully convert four field goals, including the game-winner against Washington. Moody’s continued success will only add fuel to the ongoing kicking controversy in Chicago.

The Bears’ special teams have faced scrutiny this season, and Moody’s performance could raise questions about the team’s future kicking strategy. If he excels once again against the struggling 1-5 Saints at Soldier Field, the Bears may find themselves in a favorable predicament—deciding between the proven Santos and the up-and-coming Moody.

Building Momentum After a Rocky Start

Following a dismal 0-2 start to the season, the Bears have found their rhythm and are looking to build on their recent success. The combination of a healthy DJ Moore and a confident kicker could be the recipe for another victory against a Saints team that has struggled to find its footing this season.

As Chicago prepares for Sunday, the spotlight will be on both Moore’s return and Moody’s kicking prowess, with fans hopeful that the Bears can capitalize on their current momentum and continue their upward trajectory in the league.
