Hub Arkush: Bears three-man PK battle not merely for kicks

It appears the Bears are making progress toward identifying a successor to Cody Parkey at the PK position.

After all, what started as an eight-man competition at the Bears rookie minicamp just one month ago has now been boiled down to a three-ring circus with Chris Blewitt, Elliott Fry and Eddie Pineiro the only surviving contestants.

Actually, when there were eight guys, three holders and three long snappers, circus was about the only descriptor that came to mind, but that seems a bit harsh now as Blewitt, Fry and Pineiro all seem to have legitimate shots at becoming good NFL kickers.
