It really didn’t — I didn’t even notice it at the time

LAKE FOREST Sam Acho Jersey , Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears thought their kicking problems had finally ended when Eddy Pineiro made a 53-yard field goal to beat Denver last week.No such luck.Pineiro will go into Monday night’s game in Washington questionable on the injury report because of right knee trouble.Pineiro was hurt Friday, with coach Matt Nagy saying it happened during weight lifting. Pineiro didn’t practice Friday, but did kick on a limited basis at Saturday’s practice.“Especially after what just happened with us and what we’ve been through (with kickers), and what he just did this past weekend, it’s like we’re on a roll here and then all of a sudden something crazy like this happens,” Nagy said. “But I try to stay positive with it and I think we’ll be OK. We’ve just got to see how it goes the next couple days.”The Bears had one other player who was a surprise on the injury report. Safety Eddie Jackson came up with a knee injury in Friday’s practice and was able to go Saturday only on a limited basis. He also is questionable.The Bears conducted a massive offseason kicking search after Cody Parkey double-doinked a 43-yard field goal miss to end the 16-15 playoff loss to Philadelphia. Parkey was waived.Chicago brought in nine kickers at one point in the spring, traded a seventh-round draft pick for Pineiro https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Devin-Hester-Jersey , and then he beat out Elliott Fry to win the kicking job. Pineiro is 4 for 4, including last week’s winner and another 52-yarder against Denver.“I’m going to be on the cautious side with him and we’ll just kind of feel out the pain part and if it’s something that’s going to affect him, then we’ll have a decision to make,” Nagy said. “If not . hopefully he’ll be OK.”Pineiro didn’t think it was serious at first, according to Nagy.“Just thought that it was something that was minor and I think as the time has gone by and then going out there today he just felt it a little bit,” Nagy said. “So we’re just going to pull back and see where it’s at and be optimistic and try to do everything we can to make sure that we’re taking care of it, the pain.”And if Pineiro can’t kick?“That’s a good question Danny Trevathan Color Rush Jersey ,” Nagy said. “We’ve got to work through that. I know (punter) Pat O’Donnell has some experience. But we’ll see how this thing goes. I don’t want to rush to judgment yet. That’s not where we’re at.”At least the Bears know a lot about some of the potential emergency kickers available.“There are a lot of different scenarios that could happen, but I’m not going down that route,” Nagy said. “I feel good that things will be OK. If they’re not, then we just have to have a contingency plan when that time comes, and if that’s something that we’ve got to do something different, then we’ll do that.”Jackson’s injury is different than the one he had earlier in the week to go on the injury report. He had a shoulder problem then, but went through a full practice on Friday and then suffered knee soreness afterward. He practiced only on a limited basis Saturday.Defensive end Bilal Nichols is out for the game due to the broken hand suffered last week.Also questionable for Monday are guard Kyle Long (hip) and tight end Trey Burton (groin). Long was held out of Saturday’s practice and Burton participated on a limited basis. It didn’t take much of a lip-reader to see that Bears coach Matt Nagy had a sharp message for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky Monday night.It’s also clear it hit its intended target.ESPN cameras zoomed in on a sideline interaction between coach and quarterback in the second quarter Cody Whitehair Jersey , and Nagy clearly said “. . . [something] the f— up.”Whether the first obscured word (move your arm next time, assistant coach Dave Ragone) was “man,” “step,” or “shut,” doesn’t matter as much as the delivery, and the fact that Trubisky responded appropriately. Two plays later, he threw his first touchdown pass of the year.“That’s what you want from your head coach https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Jonathan-Bullard-Jersey ,” Trubisky said, via J.J. Stankevitz of NBCSportsChicago.com. “You want passion, and it wasn’t anything malicious. We were just on the same page and we were getting fired up and we were just communicating and he definitely got his point across and I love to see passion out of my head coach. When you get that and, it’s really a non-issue, it’s not a big deal at all.“It really didn’t — I didn’t even notice it at the time. We were just communicating and we ended up going down and scoring at the end of that drive, if I remember correctly, so no big deal at all and I love to see that out of coach Nags.”Nagy has challenged Trubisky on the field before Akiem Hicks Color Rush Jersey , and was fortunate that this latest example worked out as intended on national television.“See, he made a good play,” Nagy said with a laugh. “He made me look good.”And all it took was getting his attention by using one of the magic words you can’t say on TV, and Trubisky getting the message.
