Eddy Pineiro will open the regular season as the Chicago Bears' starting kicker, head coach Matt Nagy told reporters Sunday.
"We feel like he's certainly earned it," Nagy said, per ESPN's Jeff Dickerson. "We put him—he made it through a lot of mental challenges, physical challenges, working through the highs and lows. It'll be fun to watch. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it. But he deserves it. He earned every right to be our kicker. And we feel good about it."
