Cairo Santos gives Bears a steady leg on special teams
Cairo Santos has been a steady presence for the Bears since joining Chicago in 2020 [2]. The Brazilian-born kicker entered the NFL in 2014 and spent time with multiple teams before settling in Lake Forest, bringing veteran poise to the position [1][3].With the Bears, Santos handles field goals, extra points and kickoffs, a full workload that keeps special teams on schedule and gives the staff a trusted option in tight moments [2]. His career track record and consistency strengthen game plans on a weekly basis [1][3].As the roster turns toward the fall, Santos’ experience and accuracy remain central to Chicago’s push to squeeze points from every drive and control field position in close contests [1][2].
