Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Dealing with pinched nerve

Pineiro is dealing with a pinched nerve in his right knee, Jason Lieser of The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Pineiro went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all four of his extra-point tries in Monday's win over the Redskins, but it was clear that the second-year kicker was playing through some major pain after he suffered the injury last week. The hero of the Week 2 win over the Broncos, Pineiro vows to overcome the injury, but that may not happen without some time off. Look for more updates on his status to come when the Bears resume practice later this week.
