Bears kickers convert under high stakes for team

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears head coach Matt Nagy turned up the pressure on Chicago's place kickers on the final day of minicamp.

After an offseason full of kicking woes, Nagy called on Elliott Fry and Eddy Pineiro to each attempt a 40-yard field goal on Thursday.

The stakes were high.

If either field goal missed the mark, the entire roster would have to endure a team conditioning test during the second half of practice.

With the entire team watching in absolute silence, Fry and Pineiro both nailed their kicks, and Nagy abruptly ended practice and sent everyone home for summer break.
