Bears sign Cairo Santos to the active roster, waive Eric Saubert

The Chicago Bears announced that they have signed kicker Cairo Santos to the active roster from the practice squad, and in a corresponding roster move they have released back-up tight end Eric Saubert.

Santos was also active a week ago when the Bears called him up to replace Eddy Pineiro, whom was placed on injured reserve before the season started.

With the new 55-man roster limit in place for game day, teams can activate 2 additional players from the practice squad, but after the game they revert back to the practice squad.
