(670 The Score) The Bears’ entire kicking battery is back for the 2021 season.
Veteran long snapper Patrick Scales has re-signed with Chicago on a one-year deal, the team announced Friday evening. His new contract comes after the Bears recently retained kicker Cairo Santos and punter Pat O’Donnell, who’s also the team’s holder.
Scales has appeared in 69 games for the Bears across the past five seasons. He joined Chicago in 2015. He missed all of 2017 with a torn ACL before appearing in every game across the past three seasons.
