Bears kicker Robbie Gould is sitting out practice this week with a quadriceps injury, so the team has added some kicking insurance.

Veteran Jay Feely has been signed by Chicago. If Gould can’t go tomorrow night against the Cowboys, Feely will. Gould is listed as doubtful, so Feely will likely get the nod.

The 38-year-old Feely has had a few tryouts this season but has been out of the league since losing the kicking competition in Arizona. He kicked the last four seasons for the Cardinals and has had prior stints with the Jets, Dolphins, Giants and Falcons.

To make room for Feely on the 53-player roster, the Bears waived/injured receiver Chris Williams.
