Good to go for Week 3 Santos (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Santos popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to a right hip issue, but he was a full participant in Saturday's session and has been cleared to play Monday night. He's gone 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 8-for-8 on extra-point tries through the first two games of the regular season.

Chicago Bears QB Tyson Bagent returns to practice and could face Philadelphia on Monday

DNP on Friday Santos (right hip) didn't practice Friday.

Impact This follows the Bears listing Santos as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report due to a right hip injury. Per Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Chicago hasn't tried out a kicker as of Friday, so perhaps the team is confident in Santos being available for Monday's contest against the Eagles. Through two games this season, Santos has connected on two of three field-goal attempts and all eight point-after tries.

Sits out first Week 3 practice Santos was a non-participant in Thursday's practice estimate due to a right hip injury.

Impact Santos had a kick blocked in this past Sunday's weather-affected 9-3 loss to the Vikings, but he's otherwise been perfect through the first two weeks of the season, converting on field-goal tries of 40 and 50 yards and going 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts. The Bears don't have any kickers on their practice squad, and Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune notes that the team didn't bring in any kickers for workouts Thursday either, so the expectation is that Santos' hip injury is a minor concern that won't prevent him from playing Monday night against the Eagles.

Blocked kick in close loss Santos made one of his two field-goal attempts in the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Santos converted a 50-yard field-goal attempt on the Bears' first drive of the game, resulting in the team's only points throughout the contest. The kicker had a chance to tie the game at six points in the fourth quarter but the 23-yard attempt was blocked by Isaiah Rodgers. Santos has made two of his three field goals this season and all eight of his PATs through two weeks.

Makes eight PATs in dominant win Santos made his sole field-goal attempt and converted eight PATs in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Impact Santos was only called upon for a 40-yard field goal, but the kicker's consistency netted the Bears a total of 11 points. The 34-year-old made all 39 of his point-after attempts in 2025 and has continued that streak through a Week 1 offensive masterclass in 2026.

AUGUST 30 • Associated Press

One misfire in preseason loss Santos connected on field-goal attempts of 45, 26 and 44 yards and missed wide right from 53 yards in the Bears' 27-9 preseason loss to the Bengals on Saturday.

Impact The veteran kicker's one miss is somewhat excusable given the distance, as well as his accuracy on the three attempts that preceded it. Santos is set to serve as the Bears' placekicker for the seventh straight season following a 2025 campaign in which he connected on 83.3 percent of his 30 field-goal attempts and all 39 of his point-after tries across 15 regular-season games.
