The promising start of kicker Eddy Pineiro’s career with the Bears has careened to the point that he is now staring down the final six games knowing his roster spot is at stake.
Not only is there a question about Pineiro’s long-term future after missing four field goals and an extra point over the last four games, but the possibility of the Bears making change before the end of the season will linger if he doesn’t turn it around quickly.
Pineiro missed wide left from 48 yards on the opening drive and wide right from 47 on his ensuing attempt against the Rams last weekend.
