Chicago Bears did a slight roster shuffling on Tuesday, announcing the addition of kicker Cairo Santos and wide receiver Alex Wesley. The team also released wideout Trevor Davis, while placing tight end Darion Clark on injured reserve.

Santos is expected to provide competition for projected starter Eddy Pineiro, who is currently dealing with an injury and hasn’t been practicing this week. There is also a possibility that Bears, considering their struggles with kickers in recent years, keep both men on the roster for 2020 regular season. In this case, one would be on the 53-men roster while the other would remain on the expanded practice squad.

This will be the second stint for Santos in Chicago, as he previously suited up for two games for the Bears in 2017. The 28-year-old player most recently spent time with Tennessee Titans, playing in five games and going nine out of four on field goal attempts. He was perfect on extra points.

Wesley, on the other hand, is yet to make his NFL debut after injuries hampered his rookie season. The 25-year-old previously played college football with Northern Colorado Bears, where he racked up 156 catches for 2,716 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Tennessee Titans didn’t wait for long to find a replacement for departed kicker Cairo Santos. The team announced on Tuesday that they have signed former Chicago Bears’ K Cody Parkey.

Titans decided to cut Santos on Monday, just a day after he missed four field goals against Buffalo Bills and largely attributed to his team’s loss. The 27-year-old joined Tennessee in September after starter Ryan Succop landed on the injured reserve list. He was perfect from both FGs and extra-point attempts in the first four weeks.

Parkey, on the other hand, has been unemployed since March, when Bears released him following a disappointing 2018 season.

Cody Parkey entered the league in 2014 and has since spent time with six NFL teams. He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2018, getting a four-year deal after a standout performance in the 2017 NFL season with Miami Dolphins. His time with the Bears, however, wasn’t so great.

Parkey played all 16 regular-season games in 2018, but only made 23 out of 30 FG attempts and finished the year with a disastrous FG percentage of 76.7. His struggles continued in the postseason when he missed a 43-yard game-winning field goal against Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC wild-card playoff game. All of this caused Chicago to release him despite the fact he had a $3.5 million guaranteed left on his deal.
