Santos missed practice on Thursday and Friday because of personal reasons. The Bears worked out three kickers on Friday and signed Michael Badgley to the practice squad on Saturday. Badgley was then elevated to the active roster along with running back Darrynton Evans.
Badgley played 12 games for the Colts last season, so he's familiar with Matt Eberflus. Over his four-year career Badgley has gone 70-87 on field goal tries, good for a 80.5% hit rate. His career long was a 59-yarder in 2018. Badgley is 122-127 on extra point attempts.
