One day after bringing back kicker Cairo Santos, the Bears are doing the same for punter Pat O’Donnell.
He will return to the team on a one-year deal, NFL Network reported.
O’Donnell was one of three members of the Bears’ special teams corps staring at free agency at the start of the week. After O’Donnell agreed to a deal, the Bears are down to one specialist in limbo: long snapper Patrick Scales.
The Bears drafted O’Donnell in the sixth round in 2014. He’s played every season for them since. Special teams coordinator Chris Tabor seemed pleased with him in late December.
