Bears K Cairo Santos (right hip) did not practice on Friday.

Santos has tumbled from the potential beneficiary of a potent offense to a droppable player in 12-team leagues. He is also on the wrong side of questionable.

Bears K Cairo Santos (right hip) did not practice on Thursday.

The Bears cannot catch a break. If Santos remains sidelined tomorrow, there’s a decent chance the front office will host a free agent tryout.

Cairo Santos went 3-for-3 on his field goal attempts in Week 16’s win over the Packers.

Santos came up clutch late for the Bears when he nailed a 51-yard field goal with just under 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, only come back and knock down a 43-yard field goal at the two-minute warning in the same quarter. Santos hit the Bears’ only PAT of the night to send them to overtime and has now made 24-of-29 field goals this season. He will be on the kicking radar in Week 16 against the 49ers.

Cairo Santos hit his only field goal attempt and went 3-for-3 on extra points in the Bears’ Week 13 win over the Eagles.

Santos had no trouble dealing with the swirling winds in Philadelphia and connected on a 30-yard attempt to give Chicago a 10-3 lead. The veteran kicker has been solid in 2025 while making 18-of-22 of his attempts and not missing an extra point this season.

Bears K Cairo Santos (thigh) is questionable for Chicago’s Week 8 game against the Ravens.

He did get in full practices each of the last two days, which would seem to be an indication that the veteran kicker will be back against Baltimore. If not, Jake Moody will get another practice squad elevation and kick for the Bears in Week 8.

Bears declared DT Grady Jarrett, K Cairo Santos, LB Ruben Hyppolite II, G Luke Newman, LB Noah Sewell, WR Jahdae Walker, and QB Case Keenum inactive for Week 7 against the Saints.

Jarrett, who has been battling a knee injury, was said to be likely to suit up on Sunday, but that will not be the case. With the weather making this likely to be a run-heavy game, Jarrett being out is a slight bump for Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller.

Bears declared K Cairo Santos, DT Grady Jarrett, WR Jahdae Walker, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, LB Ruben Hyppolite, G Luke Newman, and QB Case Keenum inactive for Week 6 against the Commanders.

Jake Moody will handle kicking duties for the Bears after being cut by the 49ers earlier this season. Santos’ next opportunity to kick for the Bears comes in Week 7 against the Saints. The rest of the inactives carry no real surprise.

With Cairo Santos (thigh) questionable for Week 6 against the Commanders, the Bears have elevated K Jake Moody from the practice squad.

The decision to elevate Moody suggests Santos will be inactive for Monday night’s game against the Commanders, although fantasy managers will want to check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm. Moody converted 1-of-3 field goal attempts this season and was cut by the 49ers after Week 1. A career 74.2 percent kicker, fantasy managers counting on Santos can pivot to Moody in a pinch if Santos is ultimately ruled out.

Bears signed K Cairo Santos to a four-year contract extension worth $16 million.

There will be happy holidays for Santos, who gets $9 million guaranteed in his new deal. Santos, the most accurate kicker in Bears history, has made 93 percent of his field goal tries this season, up from his career rate of 85 percent. Chicago’s kicker since 2020, it appears Santos will keep the job for the foreseeable future. He’s a viable option in Week 16 against the Cardinals.
