Bears' Eddy Pineiro: Out at least three weeks

The Bears placed Pineiro (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The NFL's new IR rules for 2020 will allow the Bears to activate Pineiro after he sits out three games, so if he moves past the groin injury by the end of September, he could be ready to step back in as the team's kicker beginning in Week 4 against the Colts. In the interim, the Bears are expected to promote Cairo Santos from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.
