Badgley was temporarily taking over for Bears kicker Cairo Santos, who was on leave to attend to a personal matter and has since returned to the team.

Bears K Cairo Santos is back with the team and full steam ahead after tending to a serious personal matter last week. Great to hear on multiple levels.
